The eclipse begins with a subtle penumbral phase at 04:00 (GMT-4), which may be hard to detect without instruments. The visible partial phase starts at 05:11, when Earth’s umbra begins to cover a portion of the lunar surface, creating a distinct dark bite on the Moon.At 06:53, the eclipse reaches its peak, with up to 99% of the Moon covered by Earth’s shadow. After this, the shadow gradually recedes, and the partial phase ends at 08:36. The eclipse concludes with the Moon exiting the penumbra at 09:46.
