srI:

Lunar Eclipse is NOT visible in Asia (Singapore,

India). Eclipse is visible in Americas except Alaska,

Africa and Europe including Middle East.

 

>From NASA's web, the visibility of Eclipse is

described as follows:

The eclipse will be widely visible from the Americas,

Europe, and Africa. The eastern half of North America

will witness the entire event, while the partial

phases will already be in progress at moonrise from

the western portions of thecontinent. Similarly, the

Moon sets in Europe during various stages of the

eclipse. Observers in Ontario, Quebec, the Maritime

Provinces and eastern U. S. will see all phases of the

eclipse. Farther to the west, the eclipse begins

before moonrise but totality will still be visible

from the region except from Yukon and Alaska.

 

In the East Coast of US (NY, NJ, MD etc), the eclipse

begins at 9.05 PM EDT on May 15 and ends at 2.15 AM

EDT on May 16, 2003.
