The eclipse begins with a subtle penumbral phase at 20:04 (GMT-10), which may be hard to detect without instruments. The visible partial phase starts at 21:20, when Earth’s umbra begins to cover a portion of the lunar surface, creating a distinct dark bite on the Moon.At 23:01, the eclipse reaches its peak, with up to 100% of the Moon covered by Earth’s shadow. After this, the shadow gradually recedes, and the partial phase ends at 00:49. The eclipse concludes with the Moon exiting the penumbra at 02:04.
