Is a lunar eclipse seen the same everywhere on earth?

The earth's shadow is cast on the Moon. Everyone who can see the Moon sees exactly the same shadow. But, the earth is rotating. There will be places where the moon rises already eclipsed, and other areas where the Moon sets during the eclipse, so actually more than half of the earth sees the eclipse. read more

A lunar eclipse typically lasts only a few hours so only about maybe a third of the planet will see the whole thing, another third will see part of it, and the last third will miss it all. read more
