A partial eclipse of the Moon occurs on Wednesday 9 February, 2316 UT, with maximum eclipse at 07:39 UT. The Earth's shadow on the moon will be clearly visible in this eclipse, with 43% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse will last for 2 hours and 31 minutes.
The penumbral eclipse lasts for 5 hours and 31 minutes. The partial eclipse lasts for 2 hours and 31 minutes. Maximum eclipse is at 07:39:38 UT.
This map shows the visibility of the eclipse at maximum eclipse, when it will be visible within the bright area on the map. Note that the map is approximate, and if you are near the edge of the area of visibility, the moon will be very close to the horizon and may not be practically visible.
You can use the zoom controls to zoom in and out, and pan to see areas of interest. The green marker in the centre shows where the Moon will be directly overhead at maximum eclipse.
