The cosmic event staerted with subtle penumbral phase in the afternoon, barely dimming the moon’s glow.

As the eclipse peaked, the moon lingered in Earth’s umbra before slowly emerging. The total phase faded at 4:34 pm, and the partial eclipse continued its retreat until it finally ended at 6:17 pm. By 7:23 pm, the celestial show was over, but not forgotten.

Such eclipse formed when Earth positions itself directly between the Sun and the Moon, blocking sunlight from reaching the lunar surface. Instead of disappearing, the moon often takes on a haunting reddish hue and it turned into Blood Moon.
