The Earth s curved Edge will be seen gradually creeping Over the Moon until s.17 . When the eclipse will be total with the Moon completely dimmed in the Shadow. We. Can still see the Moon because even in the Centre of the Shadow there is some Light caused by the rays from the Sun which have been Bent by the Earth s atmosphere. These rays which pass into the Shadow take on a red color and thus the eclipsed Moon appears Coppery. In this eclipse the Moon just gets into the Bottom Section of the Earth s Shadow. So the South Ern Edge of the Moon just on the Border of the Shadow will probably look brighter than the rest of its surface. Out of Shadow at 8.47 ., the total phase of the eclipse ends. Finally at 10.14 ., the Moon will be out of the Shadow and the eclipse will be Over. However the Moon will still be in an outer Shadow the Penumbra until 11.24 ., and this is you were on the Moon you could see the Earth partly hiding the Sun. But on the Earth at this time even with Only part of the Sun shining on the Moon it looks so Bright it seems practically Normal. This is one of five eclipses of both the Sun and the Moon this year.
