This will cause a partial lunar eclipse, however, most of the lunar diameter \u2013 about 93% ( and around 96% of its surface area) will be within the Earth\u2019s darkest shadow, meaning that it will actually look like an almost completely covered, very significant total lunar eclipse.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accuracy verification notes for specialists.
