Penumbral Lunar Eclipse

When:

This one’s subtle. Something you might experience in your bones not with your eyes… A penumbral eclipse occurs when the moon passes through Earth’s faint outer shadow, the penumbra. This slightly dims the moon but doesn’t turn it dark or red like in a total lunar eclipse.

This event can be observed (felt?) anywhere on the night side of Earth, in this case much of the Americas and parts of East Asia.
