Salaam Alaykum
On 31st December with the moon in Full phase, a small portion of the Moon, about 8%, will be hidden from view during the partial eclipse of the Moon. Just before 10 pm, at 9:53 pm when the Moon will be in the east, about half way up the sky, the moon will slowly begin to be covered from the bottom by the Earth’s shadow. In the next half hour, by around 10 30 pm, about 8% of the moon will be covered up. After that, in the next half hour, the Earth’s shadow will slowly move away and will leave the Moon from the top at 10:53 pm.
