On September 15 next year, Britain will witness an extraordinary sight.

High in the heavens, the Moon will turn an eerie blood-red filling the night sky with fiery radiance, as if Mars, the planet of war, has suddenly burst from its natural orbit and arrived on our doorstep.

This spectacular vision will be the culmination of a rare and, in the eyes of some, deeply ominous astrological event, which began this week.

On Tuesday, millions of people across America and much of the rest of the Western hemisphere saw exactly such a blood-red moon glowing above their heads for around an hour-and-a-half. That same moon will return over Earth three times in the next 17 months, making its final dramatic appearance over Britain.
