Summary at a Glance

A penumbral lunar eclipse is the first phase of a lunar eclipse and is when our nighttime neighbour passes the Earth’s penumbra.

Western and Central Europe will be able to see the partial eclipse just before the Moon sets and the Sun rises for about 75 minutes.

During the eclipse, the moon turns into a deep blood-red color, known as "blood moon."

This celestial incident -- known as "Super Flower Blood Moon" -- is the only full lunar eclipse of this year.

As the Moon drifts away, a second partial and penumbral lunar eclipse will follow.
