August 2017 lunar eclipse
text:
A partial lunar eclipse took place at the Moon's descending node on the evening of 7 August and the morning pre-dawn on 8 August 2017, the second of two lunar eclipses in 2017. The Moon was only slightly covered by the Earth's umbral shadow at maximum eclipse. The Moon's apparent diameter was smaller because the eclipse occurred only 5 days after apogee. The Moon inside the umbral shadow was a subtle red, but hard to see in contrast to the much brighter Moon in the outer penumbral shadow.
