Partial lunar eclipse, Jan 12, 2028

Middle at Jan 12, 2028, 4:13 AM UTC

Part of the Moon goes into the dark core of Earth's shadow, so a dark bite seems to be taken out of it, then it slowly comes back. It can be seen from anywhere the Moon is above the horizon, and it's safe to watch with your eyes, binoculars or a telescope.
