People in Europe, Africa, most of Asia and western Australia will see a shallow partial lunar eclipse overnight on October 28-29, 2023. The very bright object near the eclipsed moon will be Jupiter, now nearly at its closest for 2023.

Livestreams for October 28-29 partial eclipse

The whole half of Earth facing the full moon – that is, the whole half of Earth that’s in nighttime – will see the lunar eclipse. North America will not see it. Of course, lunar eclipses are safe to view with the unaided eye. Binoculars and telescopes aren’t required to view a lunar eclipse, but they do enhance the view.
