What to Expect from the Partial Lunar Eclipse on Saturday

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.

May 2023: Witness the Eerie Beauty of the Flower Moon Lunar Eclipse.

Skywatchers in the Eastern Hemisphere and Antarctica witnessed the first lunar eclipse of 2023, a penumbral lunar eclipse of the full Flower Moon on May 5, 2023. While not as dramatic as a total or partial lunar eclipse, it offered skywatchers the chance to visualize the astronomical alignment of the sun, Earth, and the moon in real time. Photographers throughout Asia and the Middle East captured eerie photographs of the eclipse, which appeared as a dark 'smudge' or 'stain' on the outer portion of the moon.

On May 5, 2023, a penumbral lunar eclipse will occur, visible in Africa, Asia, Australia, and large portions of Europe. The eclipse occurs when the Earth gets between the Sun and the Moon and casts part of its shadow on the Moon. The Moon will dim slightly as it passes through the lighter part of the Earth's shadow, known as the penumbra. Lunar eclipses occur when the Moon passes through the Earth's shadow, which is not always uniform. The upcoming event is the first of a number of eclipses occurring over the next year.
