The inhabitants of the planet in November will see a private eclipse of the Moon and the peak of the Leonida starfall

A partial eclipse of the Moon with a maximum phase of 0.97 will occur on November 19 and will be visible to residents of the eastern regions of Russia. This was reported to TASS on Wednesday in the press service of the Moscow Planetarium.

"On November 19 at 12:04 Moscow time there will be a partial eclipse of the Moon <...>. The moon will pass through the southern part of the earth's shadow. The shadow eclipse will last 3 hours and 28 minutes (from 10:20 Moscow time to 13:48 Moscow time), and at the moment of the maximum phase, at 12:04 Moscow time, it will look almost like a full (0.97) with the southern edge of the Moon brightly illuminated," the planetarium's press service told TASS.

Residents of the eastern regions of Russia will be able to see the shadow phases of the eclipse, while from the beginning to the end it will be possible to observe it from the territory of the Far Eastern Federal District, the planetarium also noted.

"It will be impossible to see the eclipse in Moscow, since the Moon will be below the horizon during the eclipse," the astronomers noted.

On the night of November 17-18, scientists also predict the maximum activity of the Leonida meteor shower, which is observed annually from November 6 to November 30. They expect up to 15 meteors per hour, which can be seen with a cloudless sky and no moonlight.
