Sky-Watchers Await Total Lunar Eclipse on Thursday
"On the night of May 15 the full moon will slip into Earth's shadow and darken to an orange-reddish glow during the first of four total lunar eclipses to occur over the course of the next 17 months."


Tonight's Sky
"On the American evening of May 15, totality begins at 11:14 p.m. EDT, although the action starts well before that. The partial phase, when the moon first dips into Earth's dark umbral shadow, begins at 10:03 p.m. EDT. After 11:40 p.m. EDT, when the moon reaches mid-eclipse and lies deepest in the shadow, the stages play out in reverse. Totality ends at 12:07 a.m. EDT, and the partial phase wraps up at 1:18 a.m. EDT."

This page shows where the eclipse will be visible. Not from Australia, unfortunately.
