The eclipse was subtle until the Moon’s top edge entered the full shadow at 10:13 pm EDT (3:15 am UTC), peaking at 10:44 pm EDT (3:45 am UTC) “when 8 percent of the Moon” was covered.The timelapse footage here, captured by Eoin O’Hagan with a Nikon camera and a 2000mm lens from his home in Scariff, in the west of Ireland, shows the phenomenon.
