Lunar eclipse won't be visible again in NZ until 3 years later

Yes yes yes...happened to read upon this article at work on Friday!!! : P

A lunar eclipse will be visible in NZ night sky next Tuesday! (And it won't be visible again until 3 years later!!!)
"A lunar eclipse occurs when the earth passes between the sun and the moon, blocking the light from the sun reaching the moon's surface. The moon will pass through the shadow of the earth.

The eclipse on Tuesday, August 28 will start at 7.52pm, but won't be noticed until around 8.51pm, when the moon enters the full shadow of the earth.

The moon will be fully eclipsed by the earth's shadow from 9.52pm to 11.23pm, with the eclipse over by 1.22am."
