Lunar Eclipse 2020 will be the final eclipse of the current cycle. Earlier, we saw the historic Solar Eclipse on June 21 and before that a lunar eclipse on June 5. The eclipse which the world will witness on the night of July 4th and morning of July 5th will be a buck eclipse and will be visible from several major cities across the world. 

The Eclipse's official time is between 3 am and 6 am UTC, depending on where you are. 

The Eclipse on July 5 will be partial because only part of the moon will dip into the penumbra. As per Livescience.com, this weekend's partial penumbral eclipse will appear as if a mouse took a small, dim bite out of the northern edge of the full moon.
