The full moon passes through Earth’s shadow in this sequence captured late Thursday night into early Friday morning over the Ozarks. The partial lunar eclipse began around 9:30 p.m. Thursday and reached roughly 96% coverage, darkening the moon to a rusty orange hue before concluding three hours later. Lunar eclipses occur when Earth aligns directly between the sun and the moon during a full moon phase. A faint penumbral eclipse, when the earth’s shadow grazes the moon instead of totally covering it, will be visible from North America on Feb. 20, 2027, and the next total lunar eclipse visible from most of North America will happen overnight June 25 and 26, 2029.
