A penumbral lunar eclipse will occur tomorrow. The eclipse is predicted to last for about two hours. However, sky gazers in India will miss the spectacular show as it will not be visible in the country.

Today’s lunar eclipse will be completely invisible to the naked eye but the moon will be above the horizon from most of Canada. According to NASA sources, this penumbral eclipse is only of academic interest since the magnitude is just 0.156 at the point of maximum eclipse.

The eclipse will be visible in North America west of the Great Lakes, including Hawaii, and many parts of Alaska. The moon will also be high in the sky over New Zealand and eastern Australia during the eclipse, he said.
