The moon will be partially darkened at 20:43. At 21:30, the total eclipse occurs. "Our heavenly companion is then about six degrees above the horizon, so about half of a hand with the outstretched hand." He appears red, so he likes to call it a moon of blood, "says Fischer, until at 11:14 pm he remains completely blackened, about 17 degrees above the horizon, he leaves again the l & rsquo; Shadow of the Earth.The partial eclipse ends at 0.19am
