Which side of the moon is covered first in the lunar eclipse?

Answer 1

If you're watching a lunar eclipse from anywhere in the northern hemisphere,

you'll generally see the shadow begin to creep across the moon from the left

to the right ... the east side to the west side.

If you're watching from a place in the Southern Hemisphere, it'll still be from the

east side of the moon to the west side, but the way you're facing to watch the

moon, that'll be from your right to your left
