The eclipse will occur because the Earth will lie precisely between the sun and the moon, and is part of the same alignment of the moon’s orbit that caused the recent total solar eclipse.

The result on Friday and Saturday will be a penumbral lunar eclipse, which is when Earth’s outer shadow – its penumbra – falls on the moon, causing a subtle change in its light. While a full moon high in the sky is usually too bright to watch for more than a few seconds, the full moon during this eclipse will be very easy to watch without any glare.
