A partial lunar eclipse that was viewable from across Pakistan and the entire night side of the globe saw the full “harvest moon” slip through Earth’s shadow in space, turning its surface dark and appearing like it has a bite taken from it.

The partial eclipse ends when the moon moves out of the umbra, passing back into the penumbra.
