Answered
What is a partial lunar eclipse?
A partial lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth moves between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. In a partial eclipse, only a part of the Moon enters the Earth's umbra, the central and darkest part of its shadow.
What is a 'blood moon'?
The term 'blood moon' is often used to describe a total lunar eclipse, where the Moon appears reddish due to the Earth's atmosphere scattering sunlight. In a partial eclipse, the effect may be less pronounced.
How can I view the eclipse?
The eclipse will be visible to the naked eye. No special equipment is needed to view it.
