Penumbral eclipse occurs when the moon passes through the penumbra (partial shadow) of the earth's shadow without entering the umbra (total shadow). During the event, only the apparent brightness of the moon will become dimmer, but the limb of the moon will not be obscured by the earth's shadow.
The next lunar eclipse observable in Hong Kong will not occur until April 4 next year.
End/Wednesday, October 4, 1995
