Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.88; Saros 17)
|
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 88% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth (none of it was in total shadow), which caused a gentle shadow gradient across its disc at maximum; the eclipse as a whole lasted 4 hours and 29 minutes.
