Partial Lunar Eclipse of Hunter's Moon Visible to Viewers in Europe, Africa and Asia

Last Lunar Eclipse of 2023 Coincides with Hunter's Moon, Offering Unique Spectacle with Jupiter Also Visible Near "Bitten" Moon

October’s full moon, the “Hunter’s Moon,” rose on Saturday night and was partially eclipsed. The partial lunar eclipse was best seen by those in Europe, Africa and Asia.
During the eclipse, the moon mostly entered Earth's penumbra, its lighter outer shadow. Only 6% of the moon entered the darker inner umbra at peak eclipse, which made it appear as if a bite had been taken out of it.
Jupiter was also visible just 3º below the full moon as it rose higher into the sky. The Hunter's Moon was visible all night, rising in the east at sunset and setting in the west at sunrise.
This partial lunar eclipse occurred two weeks after an annular solar eclipse which was visible in the Americas. The occurrence of both events is due to the moon crossing Earth's path at the point of new or full moon.
The next penumbral lunar eclipse will occur on March 24/25, 2024, and the next total lunar eclipse, also known as a “Blood Moon,” is predicted to occur on March 13/14, 2025.
