A lunar eclipse began on Friday evening, when Earth’s satellite would enter the outer edge of Earth’s shadow.
reported Space.com reports Ukrinform.
As mentioned, this type of lunar eclipse is known as a penumbra – observers will be able to see that the moon is dim but not completely lost.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Sun, Earth, and Moon align, and the Earth casts a shadow on the Moon’s surface.
Thus, observers will see that the Earth’s satellite is not completely eclipsed, but a dark gray or brown shade on its surface. At the peak of the eclipse, this shadow will cover 94.6% of the Moon’s surface.
The peak of the eclipse will occur at 20:24 Kiev time, about two hours after the start. The eclipse will last until 22:32.
In real time, this phenomenon can only be observed from Australia, Antarctica, East Africa, Oceania and Asia.
