The eclipse begins with a subtle penumbral phase at 14:44 (GMT-10), which may be hard to detect without instruments. The visible partial phase starts at 16:31, when Earth’s umbra begins to cover a portion of the lunar surface, creating a distinct dark bite on the Moon.At 16:48, the eclipse reaches its peak, with up to 1% of the Moon covered by Earth’s shadow. After this, the shadow gradually recedes, and the partial phase ends at 17:05. The eclipse concludes with the Moon exiting the penumbra at 18:51.
