October's Blood Moon: A Spooky Partial Lunar Eclipse for Halloween Weekend
TL;DR Summary
A partial lunar eclipse will be visible on Saturday across Europe, Africa, most of Asia, and western Australia, with the moon appearing to have a bite taken out of it. The eclipse will be accompanied by a penumbral eclipse, causing the moon to dim slightly. Unlike a total lunar eclipse, the moon will not turn red. The upcoming eclipse coincides with October's full moon, known as the hunter's moon. Lunar eclipses occur when the moon is completely full and aligned with the sun and Earth. This will be the last eclipse of 2023, but there are other celestial events to look forward to, including meteor showers and upcoming full moons.
