Star-gazers are in for a show this coming June as residents in the Mother City will be able to see a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse.

As far as astronomical events go, 2020 has been an eventful year, from an array of super moons to a meteor shower and now a lunar eclipse.

On June 5, Cape Town will witness a unique lunar eclipse known as the Penumbral Lunar Eclipse.

During this unusual lunar event the Earth’s main shadow does not cover the moon, instead a lighter shadow is cast over the moon by the edge of the Earth’s shadow.

Often mistaken for a super moon, this kind of eclipse occurs when the sun, moon and the Earth are imperfectly aligned. It is called the Penumbral Lunar Eclipse because the outer part of the Earth’s shadow is known as the Penumbra.

Starting at 7:45pm on Friday, June 5, the eclipse will reach its maximum at 9.24pm, where half of the moon will be covered by a light shadow.
