A lunar eclipse will be preceded and followed by solar eclipses by 9 years and 5.5 days (a half saros). [2] This lunar eclipse is related to two partial solar eclipses of Solar Saros 117.

A penumbral lunar eclipse took place on Monday 24 June 2002, the second of three lunar eclipses in 2002. This penumbral eclipse was visibly imperceptible due to the small entry into the southern penumbral shadow.
A penumbral lunar eclipse took place on Sunday 30 December 2001, the last of three lunar eclipses in 2001. At maximum eclipse, 89.477% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth, which caused a slight shadow gradient across its disc; this subtle effect may have been visible to careful observers. No part of the Moon was in complete shadow. The eclipse lasted 4 hours, 4 minutes and 17.7 seconds overall. This lunar eclipse followed the Annular Solar Eclipse on 14 December 2001.
A partial lunar eclipse took place on Thursday 5 July 2001, the second of three lunar eclipses in 2001. The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 49.614% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours, 40 minutes and 0.5 seconds. Occurring only 3.9 days before apogee, the Moon’s apparent diameter was 5.021% smaller than average.
A penumbral lunar eclipse took place on Sunday, January 31, 1999, the first of two lunar eclipses in 1999.
A partial lunar eclipse took place on Monday, August 6, 1990, the second of two lunar eclipses in 1990.
A partial lunar eclipse took place on Wednesday, May 25, 1994, the first of two lunar eclipses in 1994, the second being with a penumbral lunar eclipse on Friday, November 18.
A penumbral lunar eclipse took place on Thursday, June 27, 1991, the second of four lunar eclipses in 1991. The moon entered the Earth's penumbra for about 3 hours, and was difficult to see. This lunar eclipse is the predecessor of the Solar eclipse of July 11, 1991.
A penumbral lunar eclipse took place on Friday, July 26, 1991, the third of four lunar eclipses in 1991. This was the 2nd member of Lunar Saros 148. The previous event was on 15 July 1973, and the 1st eclipse of the series. The next event was on 6 August 2009.
A penumbral lunar eclipse took place on Wednesday, January 30, 1991, the first of four lunar eclipses in 1991.
A penumbral lunar eclipse took place on Tuesday, January 20, 1981, the first of two lunar eclipses in 1981. In a rare total penumbral eclipse, the entire Moon was partially shaded by the Earth, and the shading across the Moon should have been quite visible at maximum eclipse. The penumbral phase lasted for 4 hours and 24 minutes in all, though for most of it, the eclipse was extremely difficult, if not impossible to see. The moon's apparent diameter was larger because the eclipse occurred 5.2 days after perigee.
A penumbral lunar eclipse took place on Sunday, July 27, 1980, the second of three penumbral lunar eclipses in 1980. This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours, 17 minutes and 36.3 seconds, just 25.354% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow. The moon passed in the northern edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow, and was the 70th lunar eclipse of Saros cycle 109.
A total lunar eclipse took place on Friday, November 29, 1974, the second of two lunar eclipses in 1974. The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour, 15 minutes and 45 seconds, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 28.961% of its diameter inside the Earth's umbral shadow. The visual effect of this depends on the state of the Earth's atmosphere, but the Moon may have been stained a deep red colour. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours, 28 minutes and 58.7 seconds in total. The penumbral eclipse lasted for 5 hours, 33 minutes and 11.6 seconds. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours, 28 minutes and 58.7 seconds. The total eclipse lasted for 1 hour, 15 minutes and 45 seconds. Occurring only 3.6 days before perigee, the Moon's apparent diameter was 1.4% larger than average.
A partial lunar eclipse occurred on 19 November 2021. The eclipse occurred towards a micromoon. This was the longest partial lunar eclipse since 18 February 1440, and the longest until 8 February, 2669; however, many eclipses, including the November 2022 lunar eclipse, have a longer period of umbral contact at next to 3 hours 40 minutes. It was often referred to as a "Beaver Blood Moon" although not technically fulfilling the criteria for a true blood moon (totality).
A partial lunar eclipse took place on Thursday, May 13, 1976, the first of two lunar eclipses in 1976, the second being a penumbral lunar eclipse on November 6, 1976. At maximum eclipse, a small bite out of the Moon should have been visible. The eclipse lasted for 1 hour, 15 minutes and 23.8 seconds, with just 12.17% of the Moon in shadow at maximum. Occurring only 1.1 days after perigee, the Moon's apparent diameter 5.4% larger than average.
A partial lunar eclipse took place on Monday, December 10, 1973, the last of four lunar eclipses in 1973. At maximum eclipse, a small bite out of the Moon should have been visible. The eclipse lasted for 1 hour, 8 minutes and 29.4 seconds, with just 10.069% of the Moon in shadow at maximum. It occurred near perigee, and as described, such event was known as a supermoon.
A total lunar eclipse took place on Sunday, January 30, 1972, the first of two lunar eclipses in 1972. The moon entered the Earth's penumbral shadow at 30 January 1972 08:03:12.5 UTC and exited at 30 January 1972 13:43:37.9 UTC. The moon entered the Earth's umbral shadow at 30 January 1972 09:11:38.4 UTC and exited at 30 January 1972 12:35:03.1 UTC. Totality lasted 34 minutes, 47.7 seconds, between 10:35:57.4 UTC and 11:10:45.1 UTC. The moon was 6.6 days before apogee, making it 1.6% smaller than average, only 0.2% larger than the July 1972's lunar eclipse.
A penumbral lunar eclipse took place on Thursday, January 18, 1973, the first of four lunar eclipses in 1973, the second being with a penumbral lunar eclipse on Friday, June 15, the third being with a penumbral lunar eclipse on Sunday, July 15, and the last being with a partial lunar eclipse on Monday, December 10.

An annular solar eclipse occurred on December 24, 1973. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is smaller than the Sun's, blocking most of the Sun's light and causing the Sun to look like an annulus (ring). An annular eclipse appears as a partial eclipse over a region of the Earth thousands of kilometres wide. Annularity was visible from southern Mexico, southwestern Nicaragua, Costa Rica including the capital city San José, Panama, Colombia including the capital city Bogotá, southern Venezuela, Brazil, southern Guyana, southern Dutch Guiana, southern French Guiana, Portuguese Cape Verde including the capital city Praia, Mauritania including the capital city Nouakchott, Spanish Sahara, Mali, and Algeria.
An annular solar eclipse occurred on January 4, 1973, with an eclipse magnitude of 0.9303.
