February 2017 Skywatch: Video Guide This month, a penumbral lunar eclipse will be visible throughout most of the world

Visible throughout most of the world, a penumbral lunar eclipse occurs in the late evening of February 10th or the early morning of February 11th, depending on the viewing location. The Moon will darken slightly as it passes through the outer edges of Earth’s shadow.

On February 26th, parts of South America, Africa, and Antarctica will be treated to either a partial solar eclipse or an annular eclipse, when the Moon blocks all but the outer edge of the Sun, leaving a glowing “ring of fire.”
