The eclipse begins with a subtle penumbral phase at 01:35 (GMT-4), which may be hard to detect without instruments. The visible partial phase starts at 03:06, when Earth’s umbra begins to cover a portion of the lunar surface, creating a distinct dark bite on the Moon.At 03:55, the eclipse reaches its peak, with up to 12% of the Moon covered by Earth’s shadow. After this, the shadow gradually recedes, and the partial phase ends at 04:46. The eclipse concludes with the Moon exiting the penumbra at 06:16.
