This is the first total lunar eclipse since November 2022. The eclipse will be visible in its entirety in North America and western South America. It will be in progress at moonrise in eastern Asia and Oceania, and at moonset in most of Europe and Africa. The eclipse is not visible in the Middle East, western or central Asia.
The total phase of this eclipse will last for slightly more than 1 hour, and partial eclipse can be observed up to 1 hour 15 minutes before and after totality.
這是自 2022 年 11 月以來首次出現月全食。是次月食中,北美洲及南美洲西部將可見整個月食過程;亞洲東部及大洋洲將見帶食月出,而歐洲及非洲大部分地區則可見帶食月落。是次月食於中東及亞洲中西部並不可見。
是次月食全食階段歷時稍多於 1 小時,而全食前後的偏食各歷時約 1 小時 15 分。

The following information is quoted from Wikipedia. 以下資料摘自維基百科。
A lunar eclipse occurs whenever the Moon passes through some portion of the Earth's shadow. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned exactly, or very closely so, with the Earth in the middle. Hence, there is always a full moon the night of a lunar eclipse. The type and length of an eclipse depend upon the Moon's location relative to its orbital nodes.
月食,又作月蝕,是當月球運行進入地球的陰影(本影部份)時,原本可被太陽光照亮的部份,有部份或全部不能被直射陽光照亮,使得位於地球的觀測者無法看到普通的月相的天文現象。月食發生時,太陽、地球、月球恰好或幾乎在同一條直線上,因此月食必定發生在滿月的晚上(農曆十五、十六、或十七)。地球陰影位於地球公轉軌道面(黃道面)內,此平面與月球軌道面(白道面)並不重合,黃白道面交角約5度;大多數滿月時,月球不在黃道面內,而是或偏北或偏南,不在地球陰影內,因此並不是每個滿月時,都發生月食。每年發生至少兩次月食。
The shadow of the Earth can be divided into two distinctive parts: the umbra and penumbra. Within the umbra, there is no direct solar radiation. However, as a result of the Sun's large angular size, solar illumination is only partially blocked in the outer portion of the Earth's shadow, which is given the name penumbra.
A penumbral eclipse occurs when the Moon passes through the Earth's penumbra. The penumbra does not cause any noticeable darkening of the Moon's surface, though some may argue it turns a little yellow. A special type of penumbral eclipse is a total penumbral eclipse, during which the Moon lies exclusively within the Earth's penumbra. Total penumbral eclipses are rare, and when these occur, that portion of the Moon which is closest to the umbra can appear somewhat darker than the rest of the Moon.
A partial lunar eclipse occurs when only a portion of the Moon enters the umbra. When the Moon travels completely into the Earth's umbra, one observes a total lunar eclipse. The Moon's speed through the shadow is about one kilometer per second (2,300 mph), and totality may last up to nearly 107 minutes. Nevertheless, the total time between the Moon's first and last contact with the shadow is much longer, and could last up to 3.8 hours. The relative distance of the Moon from the Earth at the time of an eclipse can affect the eclipse's duration. In particular, when the Moon is near its apogee, the farthest point from the Earth in its orbit, its orbital speed is the slowest. The diameter of the umbra does not decrease much with distance. Thus, a totally-eclipsed Moon occurring near apogee will lengthen the duration of totality.
The Moon does not completely disappear as it passes through the umbra because of the refraction of sunlight by the Earth's atmosphere into the shadow cone; if the Earth had no atmosphere, the Moon would be completely dark during an eclipse. The red colouring arises because sunlight reaching the Moon must pass through a long and dense layer of the Earth's atmosphere, where it is scattered. Shorter wavelengths are more likely to be scattered by the small particles, and so by the time the light has passed through the atmosphere, the longer wavelengths dominate. This resulting light we perceive as red. This is the same effect that causes sunsets and sunrises to turn the sky a reddish colour; an alternative way of considering the problem is to realise that, as viewed from the Moon, the Sun would appear to be setting (or rising) behind the Earth.
The amount of refracted light depends on the amount of dust or clouds in the atmosphere; this also controls how much light is scattered. In general, the dustier the atmosphere, the more that other wavelengths of light will be removed (compared to red light), leaving the resulting light a deeper red colour. This causes the resulting coppery-red hue of the Moon to vary from one eclipse to the next. Volcanoes are notable for expelling large quantities of dust into the atmosphere, and a large eruption shortly before an eclipse can have a large effect on the resulting colour.
月食有三種類型:
由於地球的本影比月球大得多,這也意味著在發生月全食時,月球會完全進入地球的本影區內,所以不會出現月環食這種現象。
月食過程:
月偏食沒有食既、生光過程,食甚也只表示最接近地球陰影的時刻。
