Eclipse ends
There has been nothing noticeable to see for the past hour or so, but, officially, this eclipse ends now, as the Moon moves completely outside the Earth's penumbral shadow.
Less than six months from now, the Moon will enter the Earth's shadow again. On May 26, 2021 the Moon will travel deep into the Earth's umbra, producing a total lunar eclipse visible across the western half of North America, the southern cone of South America, the Pacific, Australia, New Zealand, and East Asia.

An optical illusion in the sky
If you catch a rising or setting Full, you might think: Why does the Full Moon look bigger on the horizon? It's an optical illusion known as the Moon illusion.

The Moon sets in Kingston
This eclipse may almost be over, but the Moon is always beautiful to look at as it rises, travels across the sky, and sets. Right now, the Moon is setting in Kingston, Jamaica.

The Moon from earlier tonight

That's (more or less) it folks...
We are one hour away from the end of the final lunar eclipse of 2020. For all practical purposes, however, tonight's show ends about now. A little more than half of the Moon's disk is still covered by the Earth's penumbra, but the Moon is moving out of the shadow, and the subtle shading is becoming completely unnoticeable. Of course, you can continue to enjoy looking at the Full Moon!

A post-Thanksgiving eclipse
In the US, this eclipse comes at the end of the Thanksgiving weekend. But it's very much a middle-of-the-night event. For instance, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, it's 3:45 in the morning right now.
Looking ahead, Albuquerque will witness an annular solar eclipse on October 14, 2023.
