On October 28, 2023, a partial lunar eclipse was visible from various parts of the world. This celestial event was observed by people across four continents, including North America, South America, Africa, and parts of Europe. The eclipse began at 1:02 UTC and reached its maximum at 4:04 UTC, with the Moon being 97% eclipsed. The entire event lasted for approximately five hours, ending at 6:06 UTC.

A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. This particular eclipse was a partial one, meaning that only a portion of the Moon was covered by the Earth's shadow. Despite this, the eclipse was still a significant event for astronomers and skywatchers alike.

The eclipse was visible to the naked eye, and many people took to social media to share their photos and experiences of the event. In addition to amateur observers, professional astronomers also closely monitored the eclipse, using it as an opportunity to study the Moon and its relationship with the Earth and Sun.

While lunar eclipses are relatively common, with most years having at least two, this particular eclipse was notable for its duration and the extent of the Moon's coverage. The next lunar eclipse is expected to occur in April 2024.
