Lunar eclipse over the Oreshek Fortress (Leningrad region) on May 5.

Yesterday's eclipse was penumbral, which means that the Moon was hidden only by the penumbra of the Earth (the area in which the Earth obscures the Sun only partially). At the same time, the brightness of the Moon decreases, but only slightly — with the naked eye, you can only notice a darkening from one edge of the lunar disk.
