A partial lunar eclipse on Saturday, October 28

A partial lunar eclipse will take over the night sky on Saturday, October 28. Skygazers will witness the celestial show that will allow them to see part of Earth’s shadow reflected on the moon.

According to NASA, a partial lunar eclipse is an imperfect alignment of the Sun, Earth and Moon resulting in the Moon passing through only part of Earth’s umbra. The shadow grows and then recedes without ever entirely covering the Moon.

Though the moon will enter penumbra at midnight on October 28, the umbral phase will start in the early hours of October 29. The umbral phase of this eclipse will begin at 1:05 a.m. on October 29 and will end at 2:24 a.m.
