Overview
- A deep partial lunar eclipse will be visible from the Netherlands and Belgium with more than 90 percent of the Moon entering Earth’s umbra at maximum.
- Key local timings from the coverage place penumbral ingress near 03:23, the clearly visible partial phase starting around 04:33, and maximum near 06:12, though exact times vary by location.
- This event is not a total eclipse so the entire Moon will not be fully inside the umbra and a true full red 'blood moon' will not occur.
- The eclipsed portion can still look dark or take on a red-orange tint because sunlight refracted and scattered through Earth’s atmosphere reaches the Moon.
- Clear weather and an unobstructed view toward the west to west-southwest are essential because the Moon will be only a few degrees above the horizon at maximum and will set shortly afterward.
