Lunar Eclipse 2013

Today You Would See a "Hunter's Moon 2013 and its Lunar Eclipse" With a Magnitude of 0.7649.
.
In Pakistan it Starts Tonight at 2:32am.

Note that the beginning and end of a penumbral eclipse are not visible to the eye. In fact, no shading can be detected until about 2/3 of the Moon's disk is immersed in the penumbra. This would put the period of nominal eclipse visibility from about 23:30 to 00:10 UT. Keep in mind that this is only an estimate. Atmospheric conditions and the observer's visual acuity are important factors to consider. An interesting exercise is to note when penumbral shading is first and last seen.
