A total lunar eclipse occurred on December 8, 1573. It was predicted and then observed by a young Tycho Brahe (assisted by his sister Sophia) at Knutstorp Castle. He said "I cannot but be very surprised that even at this youthful age of 26 years, I was able to get such accurate results." * Eclipse visibility diagrams * It was visible across all of Africa, Europe, and Asia and most of Australia. * The moon passed west to east through the center of the earth's umbral shadow causing a very dark red eclipse * Diagram of the appearance of the eclipse from Tycho Brahe's De nova stella *
