The 2013 Hunter’s Moon undergoes a lunar eclipse. There will be a subtle kind of lunar eclipse on the night of the 2013 Hunter’s Moon. For the continental U.S., as the moon rises in the east at dusk on Friday, October 18, the lunar disk will be partially covered over by the Earth’s faint penumbral shadow. That does not make this a very easy-to-observe eclipse for us in the U.S. It’s possible you won’t notice any shading at all on the moon’s surface at all. Europe and Africa will be in a better position to see the subtle penumbral eclipse because it takes place at late night (instead of evening or morning twilight). For the most of Asia, the moon will be in eclipse as its sets at sunrise tomorrow (Saturday, October 19).
