Lunar eclipse: Many clouds made it difficult to see the celestial spectacle. Skygazers in southern and northern Germany were lucky on Saturday: they were able to marvel at the moon. In the rest of Germany, clouds blocked the view. At the peak of the lunar eclipse on Saturday at around 22:14 p.m., the Earth's shadow obscured six percent of the moon's surface. At 22:53 p.M., the moon left the earth's umbra again.
