Question
I understand there will be a lunar eclipse on 20 February. Will this be visible from the Canary Islands and if so what will be the best time of night to see it. Thanks.
William,
It will be visible from the Canary Islands, unless it's cloudy of course. It should take a long time. If you're willing to spend a few hours, you can watch the entire eclipse from start to finish.

I am not a professional astronomer by any means, but astronomy has been an interest of mine since childhood, and I am well-informed on the subject. If unable to answer someone`s question personally, I will know how to quickly find the answer online, because I keep myself informed about developments in the field and I know where to look for information.
Experience
I worked in an observatory for awhile at one point, doing various interesting things with a computer.
