During a lunar eclipse, the moon passes through the Earth’s shadow. During a partial eclipse, it appears as if a bite has been taken out of the moon. The eclipse begins at 08:01 p.m. and reaches its peak at 10:15 p.m. The partial eclipse is over at 12:29 a.m.

The next full lunar eclipse is scheduled for September 2025. During a full lunar eclipse, the moon takes on a red color. Therefore it is also called a blood moon.
