TL;DR Summary

A partial lunar eclipse will occur on October 28, two weeks after the annular solar eclipse. The eclipse will be visible in the Earth's Eastern Hemisphere, with Canada and New England having a brief glimpse. The moon will enter the penumbra, the faint outer part of the Earth's shadow, and then the umbra, the darker inner part. The partial eclipse will last for 77 minutes, with the umbra covering only about 1/20 of the moon's area. The next lunar eclipse will be a penumbral event in March 2023, followed by a total lunar eclipse in March 2025.
