Partial lunar eclipse turns Moon reddish as it nears full shadow

Around the world, the Moon entered Earth’s umbral shadow, with roughly 93% of its diameter covered at peak, giving it a reddish hue. Viewers in North and South America watched the eclipse progress through the late evening hours, while observers in parts of Africa and Europe saw a brief glimpse around sunrise. In Caracas, clouds that initially threatened the view cleared as the eclipse advanced, allowing people to see the reddening Moon. Southern California’s Griffith Observatory kept its doors open for the event, and skywatchers gathered in cities such as Buenos Aires and Las Vegas to watch the phenomenon.
