🌺🌕 Flower Moon Lunar Eclipse: An Amazing Sight to Remember 🌒🤙
On May 5, a special event took place in the sky: the Flower Moon Lunar Eclipse. This kind of lunar eclipse was only visible in the Eastern Hemisphere, but no worries, many people were able to watch it online in real-time for free. 🌕💻
The Flower Moon rose on Friday (May 5) at 11:15 a.m. EDT (1515 GMT), and the lunar eclipse began as the moon moved into the outer edge of Earth’s shadow. This type of lunar eclipse is called penumbral, so skywatchers could see the moon darken but not disappear completely. The event reached its peak at 1:24 p.m. EDT (1724 GMT) and ended at 3:32 p.m. EDT (1932 GMT). 🌒🕒
For those living in the Western Hemisphere, the event wasn’t visible live. But no worries, the Virtual Telescope Project hosted a free livestream of the lunar eclipse of the full Flower Moon. The livestream began at 2:45 p.m. EDT (1845 GMT) on Friday (May 5). You could watch it on https://www.virtualtelescope.eu/webtv/ or https://www.youtube.com/@GianMasiVirtualTelescope. 📺🔭
The sun, Earth, and the moon lined up straight for the lunar eclipse. The Earth was in the middle, blocking the sun’s light and casting a shadow on the moon. This particular eclipse was called a penumbral eclipse, named after the part of Earth’s shadow that appeared on the moon. The umbra is the darkest part of the shadow, and the penumbra is the lighter part, not completely dark. 🌎🌑🌞
So this eclipse wasn’t as dramatic as a total eclipse, where the entire moon’s face becomes darkened. Skywatchers saw a dark gray or brownish shadow on part of the moon’s face, covering up to 94.6% of the moon at the eclipse’s peak. 🌚🔦
Lunar eclipses make for interesting observations of the moon’s features as Earth’s shadow moves across it. If you wanted to get a close-up look at the moon during an eclipse, be sure to check out the best telescopes and best binoculars. 🌙🔭👀
If you were in a location where you could view the penumbral lunar eclipse on May 5 and wanted to take photos of it, don’t miss our guide on how to photograph a lunar eclipse. 📷🌔
