Did you see yesterday's total lunar eclipse?

This evening, until 8pm, there will be a partial lunar eclipse over a large area of Japan. Since 98% of the Moon's diameter will be hidden, it will seem almost like a total lunar eclipse. This is the first deep partial eclipse in Japan in 140 years. Don't miss it!
