When the Eclipse Happens Worldwide

Lunar eclipses can be visible from everywhere on the night side of the Earth, if the sky is clear. From some places the entire eclipse will be visible, while in other areas the Moon will rise or set during the eclipse.

The Moon is above the horizon during this eclipse, so with good weather conditions, the entire eclipse is visible.
With the sun set time we should be able to see a grand view of this event.

Umbra is the darkest, central part of a shadow where light is completely blocked, while penumbra is the lighter, outer region where the light source is only partially obscured. Think of umbra as total blockage, while penumbra is “almost” blockage (from Latin paene “almost” + umbra “shadow”).

A ‘total’ eclipse phase always has three phases, Leading penumbra, full umbra, lagging penumbra.
A partial eclipse only has one phase as you are always only in the penumbra shadow, although for a lunar partial eclipse you may see the umbra obscure a portion of the moon.
As the earth’s shadow (penumbra) passes over the moon, the closer you get to the umbra, the darker the moon may seem as more of the light source (the sun) is obscured from the moon.
