Partial (97%) Lunar Eclipse - 2021 NOV 19

[CentaurZ]

A Partial (magnitude 97%, nearly total) Lunar Eclipse will be presented to many observers with clear skies on 2021 NOV 19. This will occur in the early hours after midnight for most of North America, and in the evening for Australia and New Zealand. For the British Isles and Norway, the partial eclipse will have just begun at moonset/sunrise. The rest of continental Europe will be shut out from the partial phase, but most Europeans will be able to view a penumbral phase.

Below is a preview graphic for the upcoming eclipse as seen against an imaginary blue wall to make the shadow fully apparent. The predicted event timings are in CST (UT-6), but will occur at essentially the same real time for all observers experiencing nighttime. The depicted orientation and Moon altitudes are for an observer at Chicago’s Adler Planetarium.

Photos and descriptions of the eclipse would be welcome additions to this thread.
