Partial eclipse:

The moon will try another step in its dance with the shadow of our earth today at 00:57.27 AM, Pacific Daylight Time. A full lunar eclipse can only happen with a full moon. The moon appears full for a number of days each cycle every month, however, it is only completely full for a number of hours in each cycle. This can allow for a partial eclipse such as the one today. The 97 % and change eclipse will start at 10:00 PM PST on the 18th and end at 4:06 AM on the 19th

A lunar eclipse can only take place during the full moon. During a partial lunar eclipse, the Moon is partially covered by the shadow of the Earth and starts changing color to copper-red. This partial lunar eclipse will be visible in North, Central and South America, Asia and Australia. In Europe and Africa it will be partially visible. It can’t be seen in the Middle and Near East. It will be the longest partial lunar eclipse since the 15th century.
