The Moon de Wolf, our satellite is in the penumbra for the first eclipse of the year
It will be the Moon of the Wolf, that of this night. It is the way that native americans called the full moon of the month of January. For this year, the howl turned to a Moon 'dirty', because he will pass within the shadows of our Planet, for the first show that offers the sky in 2020, which is also visible from Italy. The veil of penumbra Will be less scenic of a red Moon, the one that we see during a total eclipse. This time, in fact, our natural satellite will enter into what is called the cone of penumbra, and its light fades a little, but it will be darker in the part closest to the cone of shadow. Appreciable to the naked eye, but with an estimated brightness that is reduced to just 11 percent.

Like the total eclipse, even the partial, or penumbra occurs when the Moon is in full phase, this is because to enter the Earth's shadow you must find the side opposite the Sun, with us in the middle, and we see it fully illuminated until it plunges into the shadow cast by our Planet.
