The Penumbral Lunar Eclipse will appear tomorrow Feb 10 and stargazers on several regions of the world will be able to watch it. According to a research scientist from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Noah Petro, the best spot to watch the eclipse will be in the middle of Atlantic ocean on a cruise ship.
As per Space, the eclipse will be hard to see as it doesn't look like a normal lunar eclipse. The Penumbral eclipse will appear 10 minutes right after the full moon rise, but it will also look darker than the normal eclipse.
Excited skywatchers will be able to see the eclipse though it won't be seen on the entire part of the globe. The exception includes Australia, New Zealand and East Asian countries and Hawaii. Best countries for the eclipse viewing are Europe, Africa as well as an Eastern side of South America and Brazil.
According to the US Navy, it's not just February's Snow Moon who will show off this year, but Venus will also show at its brightest. It is said that even shadows are visible in the moonless night. Snow Moon can also be called Comet 45P, to those who prefer calling it.
As early as 5:32 p.m. EST (2232 GMT), the moon will start to rise but will slowly get darker after two hours. The eclipse is still visible in the daylight, as after the eclipse peaks at 7:43 p.m. EST (0034 GMT on Feb. 11), another brightness from the full moon will be seen for about two hours before it turns back normally.
