Penumbral phase lasts another hour

Beautiful Blood Moon
Partial eclipse ends
As the partial stage of this lunar eclipse ends, only Earth's faint outer shadow, the penumbra, remains on the Moon, which can be difficult to see. It may look a little darker than usual, or it may look like an ordinary Full Moon.

Partial eclipse ends soon
As the darkest part of Earth's shadow, the umbra, retracts from the Moon, the red color has faded and the partial lunar eclipse is coming to an end.
