October will not be free of astronomical events. These are always of great public interest, because they do not occur every day. Among world astronomical events, October 28 will be the second eclipse of the month, but now it will be a partial lunar eclipse, unlike the solar eclipse, where the moon intervenes while passing through the partial shadow of the Earth. It can be admired in Eastern America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia, but it will not be visible in Ecuador.
A solar eclipse occurs when a planet or moon blocks sunlight. Here on Earth we can experience two types of eclipses: solar eclipses and lunar eclipses.

Exactly when the lunar eclipse will be visible depends on where you are, but according to Time and Date, the partial eclipse will begin at 2:35 PM ET, the maximum eclipse will occur at 3:14 PM, and the partial eclipse will end at 3: 00 hours: 52. The total duration of the lunar eclipse is 4 hours and 25 minutes.
During the partial lunar eclipse, only about 6% of the moon’s surface will be covered by Earth’s umbra. To find out if the October 28 partial lunar eclipse is visible from your location, check out this interactive map from TimeandDate.com.
