Penumbral Lunar Eclipse on Fri, 10 January 2020 – Path & Viewing Guide
Global Eclipse Conditions
A penumbral lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes through Earth’s outer penumbral shadow without entering the darker umbra. This type of eclipse is subtle, often going unnoticed unless a large portion of the Moon is shadowed. The eclipse begins at 18:09 (GMT+1), as the Moon enters the penumbra and gradually dims. It reaches its maximum at 20:08, with about 94% of the lunar disk in shadow. The Moon then slowly exits the penumbra, and the eclipse ends at 22:13. No portion of the Moon enters the darker umbral shadow during this event.Local Eclipse Phase Times
