The umbra or deep shadow of the Earth is caused by a total lunar eclipse. Light from our planet is reflected around the edges of the atmosphere and falls on the moon. That is where the red hue comes from.
As the sky looks redder during this phase of the day, that is another way of explaining why the Blood Moon color happens.
It's difficult to see penumbral eclipses. The moon only passes within the penumbra, or lighter shadow, on our planet. It is difficult to see the moon's darkening, but depending on how much light pollution you are dealing with, you may get luckier. The penumbral eclipse will not cause the moon to turn red, but it will look a little bit darker than usual.
The lunar eclipse will be visible in parts of the Americas, Europe, Africa, the east Pacific, New Zealand, eastern Europe and the Middle East, but as you can see from the visibility diagrams, what you see depends on where you are located.
It will be visible from parts of the Americas, Africa, Europe, and the east Pacific. In New Zealand, eastern Europe and the Middle East, the penumbral eclipse will be visible.
If you are in a safe environment, there is no need to worry about looking at a lunar eclipse. An eclipse of the moon is a safe event, unlike a solar eclipse, which requires certified eclipse glasses. Unlike a solar eclipse, the totality phase lasts a long time.
We recommend heading outside at least 20 minutes before the eclipse starts to get your eyes adjusted to the darkness. If you want to avoid the issues of condensation, bring the equipment out as soon as possible.
Astrophotographers should consult our guide on how to photograph a lunar eclipse. Make sure to practice before the big event to make sure your settings are correct and that you are comfortable with the process.
When you are outside, make sure you dress for the weather and do what you can to feel comfortable. Keeping bright phones and torches away will maximize the pleasure of the eclipse.
There are lunar eclipses when the moon passes into the shadow of the Earth. When the Earth and the moon have slight tilts to each other, this happens a couple of times a year. You can get a penumbral, partial or total eclipse.
The moon skirts the Earth's shadow in a penumbral eclipse. This flavor of eclipse is hard to see, as the moon will only grow slightly darker. It won't turn red.
There are partial eclipses when the moon goes into the umbra. The moon will not turn red, but you will see a dark bite out of the visible surface, which is the Earth's shadow.
The last lunar eclipse of the year will take place in November. The total lunar eclipse will be visible from Asia, Australia, North America, parts of northern and eastern Europe, and most of South America.
There are two lunar eclipses in 2023. On May 5 to 6 of that year, a penumbral lunar eclipse will be visible from southern and eastern Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, and the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic oceans.
There will be a partial lunar eclipse on October 28 to 29. The eclipse will be visible from Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, North America, northern and eastern South America, thearctic, and the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans.
The next total eclipse will take place on March 14, 2025. The partial phase will be visible in parts of Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia and the Indian Ocean.
