This causes the Earth to cast its shadow on the Moon, which is visible from Earth. Part of the Moon will be illuminated by sunlight refracted from the Earth’s atmosphere. The lunar eclipse will be visible from North-East Europe, Asia, Australia, Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean, North America and most of South America.
