Night in France The partial lunar eclipse on Tuesday, the 17th, saw many French residents, in different parts of the city, begin to appreciate the sky in a different way, unlike the last days of fires they had faced. This is because at the beginning of dusk, around 6:50 p.m., the supermoon began to appear, dazzling everyone with its size.

“Today I am in the backyard, talking with friends and enjoying this moon, which is the most beautiful thing,” says Silvana, a resident of the Santo Agostinho neighborhood, who was in a store with friends enjoying the view.

The supermoon was recorded at around 8:10 p.m. by Commercial Director, Leonardo Almeida.

The partial lunar eclipse began at around 9:41 p.m., in its penumbral phase, heralding the night with the full moon appearing at around 11:36 p.m. The phenomenon reached its peak at around 11:44 p.m., and residents of several neighborhoods were able to enjoy the view.

According to Josina Nascimento, a partial lunar eclipse occurs when only part of the Moon passes through the Earth’s umbra. The umbra is the darkest part of the shadow where sunlight does not reach. In a partial eclipse, the Moon begins to pass through the umbra, darkening part of it, which we can see when looking at the Moon at that moment.
