Half-Saros cycle

A lunar eclipse will be preceded and followed by solar eclipses by 9 years and 5.5 days (a half saros). [4] This lunar eclipse is related to two partial solar eclipses of Solar Saros 119.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">July 2047 lunar eclipse</span> Central lunar eclipse

A total lunar eclipse will take place on July 7, 2047. It will last 1 hour 40 minutes and 49 seconds and will plunge the full Moon into deep darkness, as it passes right through the centre of the Earth's umbral shadow. While the visual effect of a total eclipse is variable, the Moon may be stained a deep orange or red colour at maximum eclipse. This will be a great spectacle for everyone who sees it. The partial eclipse will last for 3 hours and 39 minutes in total.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">April 1995 lunar eclipse</span> Partial lunar eclipse April 15, 1995

A partial lunar eclipse took place on Saturday, April 15, 1995, the first of two lunar eclipses in 1995, the second being with a penumbral lunar eclipse on Sunday, October 8.

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 partial lunar eclipse took place on Monday, April 4, 1977, the first of two lunar eclipses in 1977. Lasting 1 hour and 34.76 minutes, 19.289% of the Moon was in shadow at maximum.
