What will the last lunar eclipse of 2023 look like?

The lunar eclipse on October 28-29, 2023, will mostly be a penumbral eclipse, which means that as the eclipse unfolds, you will observe a faint shadow on the moon caused by Earth’s penumbral shadow. Subsequently, there will be a minimal, barely noticeable portion of the moon that appears darker due to Earth’s umbral shadow taking a small “bite” from one edge of the moon.
