In Colombia, the penumbral lunar eclipse will begin at 11:53 pm on Sunday, March 24 and will reach its maximum penumbra at 2:12 am on Monday, March 25.
On March 25, Colombia and several regions of the world will witness a fascinating astronomical phenomenon: a penumbral lunar eclipse.
This event, which marks the first of the year, can be observed in most countries in the Americas, in the eastern half of Australia, eastern Asia and western parts of Africa and Europe.
The penumbral lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes through the penumbra, the outer part of the Earth’s shadow.
Unlike total or partial eclipses, this type of eclipse is less noticeable, as only part of the satellite becomes slightly darker and takes on a reddish hue for a few hours.

This astronomical phenomenon coincides with the full Worm Moon, which will be observed in the constellation of Virgo.
According to astronomical portals, the name of this full moon comes from the Native Americans who lived in Canada and the United States, who associated the appearance of earthworms with the beginning of spring.
