I'm a huge fan of astronomy since my childhood days, so much that i am sharing this to you guys who may have taken some interest on our outer space, please take note that the time this eclipse might appear will vary depending on your region, on my country this will appear at 2:30AM on June 16
This is how it might appear on our perspective (well pardon me for the average monitor resolution  ) the moon is at the center of the image

^^ the constellation sagittarius is one of the closest to the core of our milky-way galaxy, it contains the Sagittarius A* - believed to be the location where the supermassive blackhole that holds our galaxy's stars is situated, as you can see on the circular cloudy/hazy band where the reddish moon is situated (On some monitors, this may be difficult to see due to "local dimming" used on some monitors to increase the contrast ratio)

Anyway, the software is called stellarium, with all the star catalogs installed
Trivia:
1. Most scientists now believe that all galaxies contain at least one super/massive blackhole
2. During this month Jupiter once again crosses on Mars' orbit, i just don't know if and how this might affect the inner planets
