Along with the July Thunder Moon, a penumbral lunar eclipse can be seen throughout America between the night of Saturday 4 and the morning of Sunday 5, although it will also be seen in Europe and Africa in a subtle way.

There is talk of a penumbral eclipse when the moon passes through the twilight of the Earth and there is evidence of a shadow of the satellite, although it is not so noticeable. In this case it is expected to last 2 hours and 45 minutes.

Likewise, the Ecuadorian newspaper El Universo reports that the Thunder Moon owes its name to the fact that it is the full moon in July that coincides with the most frequent season of electrical storms in North America.

The third of 2020

The one of July 5 constitutes the third penumbral eclipse recorded this year, the other two occurred on January 10 and June 5, best appreciated in Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia. On this occasion, the event can be seen in all its magnitude from Canada to southern Chile, also in southern Europe and Africa.

At what time and where can you see the lunar eclipse of July 4 and 5: approximately at 23:07:23 (or after 11:07 at night, Venezuela time) the phenomenon will begin, which should reach its highest climax. or less at 12:29:51 p.m. (past 12:29 p.m.).
