photography by Joe Fox; Earth’s shadow passes over Moon during lunar eclipse

A penumbral lunar eclipse be visible on March 25 from 4:53am to 7:12am UTC over much of Europe, North/East Asia, much of Australia, much of Africa, North America, South America, Pacific, Atlantic, Arctic, and Antarctica if the weather permits.

A penumbral lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves through the faint, outer part of Earth's shadow. Not nearly as dramatic as other eclipses, the Moon often has a shadow across its face of a size and duration determined by the viewer's location on Earth.

A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes completely through the Earth's dark shadow, or umbra. During this kind of lunar eclipse, the Moon will gradually get darker and then take on a rusty or blood red color.
