On the evening of the 7th of September 2006, the full moon will rise partially eclipsed from the UK at about 7.55pm +/- depending how far east you are, the further east you are the earlier the moon will rise. Check your newspaper for moonrise times for you location
The northern limb of the moon will be in the umbral shadow of the Earth approx about 19% at max.
At about 8.37pm, the moon leaves the umbral shadow
At about 9.57pm, the moon leaves the penumbral shadow and the lunar eclipse will be over.
This full moon also occurs at perigee, so this full moon will be larger than the "average" full moon as it will be at its closest to Earth and as a consequence, it will be brighter than the "average" full moon.
Also Uranus will be close by to the ENE of the moon
