Partial Lunar Eclipse

On April 25-26, 2013, as seen from parts of Earth (but not North or South America), Earth’s dark umbral shadow barely clips the full moon for 27 minutes, causing the third-shortest partial lunar eclipse in the 21st century. There are two more lunar eclipses later this year, but both are penumbral. The April 25-26, 2013 eclipse will be the last time Earth’s dark umbral shadow touches the moon’s face until the total lunar eclipse of April 15, 2014.
