\"Partially<\/a>

Partially Eclipsed Moon<\/p><\/div>\n

Yesterday, on Oct. 28th, 2023, the Moon passed through the Earth’s shadow<\/a>, bringing such a beautiful view to a partial lunar eclipse<\/a>. Even if only 12 percent of the lunar disc was “floating” in the umbra, any telescope could reveal its dark reddish color. Its edge “touched” the large crater Tycho<\/a>. I was lucky to see the entire phenomenon at the Tokaj vineyard<\/a>, in Mal\u00e1 Tr\u0148a, Slovakia. Unfortunately, the wine has already been harvested \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

The whole passage of the Moon through the Earth’s umbra occurred between 19:35 and 20:52 UTC, plus the penumbral phases were visible dozens of minutes before and after the partial eclipse. So visually, the phenomenon was visible about 2 hours. These 2 hours are combined in the following composite image, where the central part means also the maximum of the eclipse at 20:14 UTC with about 12.2% big partial lunar eclipse. What a beautiful phenomenon.<\/p>\n
