The Eastern Hemisphere will have quite a sky show come Thursday night. On Thursday the moon will undergo the shortest and shallowest partial lunar eclipse.

"In this case, the moon only just clips the edge of the deepest part of the shadow, called the umbra," said Mark Hammergren, an astronomer at Adler Planetarium in Chicago, Illinois.

According to National Geographic all stages of the short eclipse will be visible across Asia, Africa, Western Australia, Europe, and the Indian ocean.

Only a small portion of the moon's disk will dip into the darkest shadow cone making it a challenge to see. This partial lunar eclipse is set to last for less than a half hour for viewers.

"This eclipse is distinguished, or undistinguished, by being the second shortest partial eclipse of the moon in the 21st century, lasting only about 27 minutes," Hammergren said.

According to National Geographic, the most readily visible part of the eclipse began at 3:54 p.m. ET, just as the moon was straight overhead for observers in the Indian Ocean.

From there the deepest and most interesting part of the eclipse during which Earth's shadow will fell on less than 2 percent of the tiny sliver of the moon's disk occurred at 4:07 p.m. ET and left the umbra at 4:21 p.m.

The April 25-26, 2013 eclipse will be the last time Earth's dark umbral shadow touches the moon's face until the total lunar eclipse of April 15, 2014.

For those who do not live in the Eastern Hemisphere go to SLOOH to watch the live feed of the eclipse.
