Lunar Eclipse June 2020 Australia: What time and when is the strawberry moon eclipse?

There are three types of lunar eclipses, total, partial and penumbral. A penumbral eclipse is going to appear tomorrow for the people of Australia to enjoy its mesmerizing beauty. This type of eclipse is dimmer than the dark core of the total lunar eclipse. This makes it hard for a viewer to tell if it is an eclipse or a normal full moon. This is why it appears in Strawberry-like colour or it may adopt a tea-coloured hue instead of the normal Pearly white colour that it has. This type of eclipse is denoted as Strawberry Moon and some also call it the Mead Moon, Honey Moon, Rose Moon and Hot Moon. Moon Eclipse happens when the moon passes into the Earth’s penumbra, and this year it is expected to pass through 57 per cent of it. Here is all you need to know about what time the lunar eclipse is in Australia and more.
