How to see it

A lunar eclipse needs no equipment and is safe to watch. It is visible from anywhere the Moon is above the horizon during the eclipse, which is roughly half the planet at once. A penumbral eclipse only dims the Moon slightly and can be hard to notice without comparing photos. Use the location button above to check the Moon's altitude from your city at each stage.
