Last penumbral lunar eclipse of 2020 and full moon, Monday



[ad_1]

The last lunar eclipse of 2020 it will occur this Monday evening, the last day of November, the day it will be full moon. It’s about a penumbral eclipse (or apulse), which consists of a slight darkening of the lunar surface as the Moon crosses the terrestrial penumbra.

On this occasion, and contrary to what happened with the eclipse last July, this time it is difficult to see from Spain and will only be visible in some countries in Asia, Oceania and America.

It concerns fourth and final eclipse of this type which is produced this year, and will last 4 hours and 21 minutes. The effect to the naked eye is that a darker full moon will be seen during the peak of the eclipse, but from Spain it will be difficult to identify. It will start at 20:31 and finish at 23:49, being the most visible moment at 22:40 in Spain (21:40 in the Canary Islands).

The full moon – which will also be at its maximum this Monday, even if it seems completely full from Saturday evening until Tuesday morning – will be the penultimate of this year, as the night from 29 to 30 December will be full again.
