Saturday promises to bring an eventful night. On the one hand, the clocks are changed, which is why we can sleep an extra hour on Sunday, and on the other hand, there is a very special natural spectacle to observe: a partial lunar eclipse, provided that the weather conditions are suitable.
The most important things at a glance
What is a partial lunar eclipse?
“Partial” means “partially”. Therefore, not the entire Moon will be darkened, but only part of it.
During what period can a lunar eclipse be seen?
From approximately 9:34 p.m. to just before 11 p.m. The eclipse begins when the Moon overlaps the Earth. Penumbra enters at 9:34 p.m.
When does the eclipse reach its peak?
10:14 PM At this time, 13 percent of the Moon is said to be obscured.
When will the next total lunar eclipse be?
March 14, 2025 is the date when the moon will completely “disappear”.
