Lunar eclipses occur when the earth is between the sun and the moon, which is momentarily covered by the earth’s shadow. The shadow of the earth is divided into two regions: umbra, which receives no lights from the sun, and penumbra, which is still illuminated by a portion of sunlight.
This week’s fine part of this week’s lunar eclipse will start at 00:57 (Brasília time) early on Friday. However, the penumbral eclipse is almost imperceptible to the naked eye for us here on earth.
The real show will start at 2:09 am, when part of the moon begins to be covered by the umbra and the eclipse becomes visible to the naked eye. All of the lunar eclipse – that is, when the whole moon will be covered – will start at 3:26, will reach its maximum at 3:58, and end at 4:31.
The phenomenon is also usually called Blood moon since the Natural satellite covered by the shadow seems reddish to those who watch the surface of the earth .
