A partial lunar eclipse will take place on June 4, 2012. The Moon will be about one third covered by the Earth’s umbral shadow at maximum eclipse. The portion of the moon within the penumbral shadow will be significantly dimmed. The portion of the moon inside the umbral shadow will only be illuminated by sunlight refracted through the Earths atmosphere, thus much dimmer, and having a reddish hue. via June 2012 lunar eclipse – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
NASA reports:
New England and eastern Canada will miss the entire eclipse since the event begins after moonset from those regions. Observers in western Canada and the USA will have the best views with moonset occurring sometime after mid-eclipse. To catch the entire event, one must be located in the Pacific or eastern Australia.
