The new extensive video showing every major planetary alignment of 2020, 2021 thru the Pluto ingress to Aquarius is now available for FREE download here: https://www.soulfoodtalks.com/2020-2024-astrological-overview Friday, June 5: The penumbral (explained below) eclipse occurs today, and is visible across the Middle East, northern India, China and other parts of the Far East. The Moon is in Sagittarius and the Sun is in Gemini. The eclipse peak occurs at 15° and Mars will be in a degree-based square to the Sun and Moon creating a T-Square. All Times Eastern Daylight, US: Begins: 2:46 pm Full: 3:13 pm Peaks: 3:25 pm ends: 5:04 pm What Is a Lunar Eclipse? The moon moves in an orbit around Earth, and at the same time, Earth orbits the sun. Sometimes Earth moves between the sun and the moon. When this happens, Earth blocks the sunlight that normally is reflected by the moon. (This sunlight is what causes the moon to shine.) Instead of light hitting the moon’s surface, Earth's shadow falls on it. This is an eclipse of the moon -- a lunar eclipse.  A lunar eclipse can occur only when the moon is full. A lunar eclipse can be seen from Earth at night. There are two types of lunar eclipses: total lunar eclipses and partial lunar eclipses. A total lunar eclipse occurs when the moon and the sun are on exact opposite sides of Earth. Although the moon is in Earth's shadow, some sunlight reaches the moon. The sunlight passes through Earth's atmosphere, which causes Earth’s atmosphere to filter out most of the blue light. This makes the moon appear red to people on Earth. A partial lunar eclipse happens when only a part of the moon enters Earth's shadow. In a partial eclipse, Earth's shadow appears very dark on the side of the moon facing Earth. What people see from Earth during a partial lunar eclipse depends on how the sun, Earth and moon are lined up. A lunar eclipse usually lasts for a few hours. At least two partial lunar eclipses happen every year, but total lunar eclipses are rare. It is safe to look at a lunar eclipse.

When this happens, the Earth blocks some of the Sun's light from directly reaching the Moon's surface and covers all or part of the Moon with the outer part of its shadow, also known as the penumbra.  Since the penumbra is much fainter than the dark core of the Earth's shadow, the umbra, a penumbral eclipse of the Moon is often difficult to tell apart from a normal Full Moon.
