Mark Your Calendars: May 5, 2023 Lunar Eclipse Will Be a Subtle Show of Wonder

A penumbral lunar eclipse will occur on May 5, 2023, starting at 11:13 a.m. EDT and peaking at 1:24 p.m. EDT. This eclipse will be visible in eastern Africa, western Asia, eastern Asia, Indonesia, Australia, and southern New Zealand. The eclipse will not be visible in the Americas as it will occur during the daytime when the moon is below the horizon. This is a weak eclipse that will do little to moderate or diminish the moon's light.
