From First Up, 5:38 am on 19 November 2021

Looking toward the sky tonight - you'll be a witness to an incredibly rare lunar spectacle, not seen in our skies since Kupe landed in Aotearoa 800 years ago. It's longest partial lunar eclipse visible in New Zealand since the year 1212. Nathan Rarere was joined by Dr Ian Griffin, Director of Otago Museum and "discoverer of minor planets and a public spokesman upon scientific matters".
