A total lunar eclipse occurred between Wednesday, 20 February and Thursday, 21 February 2008. It was visible in the eastern evening sky on 20 February for all of North and South America, and on 21 February in the predawn western sky from most of Africa and Europe. Greatest Eclipse occurring on Thursday, 21 February 2008, at 03:26:03 UTC, totality lasting 49 minutes and 45.6 seconds.
A partial lunar eclipse took place on Saturday, 16 August 2008, the second of two lunar eclipses in 2008, with the first being a total eclipse on 20 February 2008. The next lunar eclipse was a penumbral eclipse occurring on 9 February 2009, while the next total lunar eclipse occurred on 21 December 2010.
A penumbral lunar eclipse took place on 16 September 2016, the last of three lunar eclipses in 2016.
A penumbral lunar eclipse took place at the Moon's ascending node on 11 February 2017, the first of two lunar eclipses in 2017. It was not quite a total penumbral lunar eclipse. It occurred the same day as comet 45P/Honda–Mrkos–Pajdušáková made a close approach to Earth. It also occurred on the Lantern Festival, the first since 9 February 2009.
A penumbral lunar eclipse took place on Thursday, March 3, 1988, the first of two lunar eclipses in 1988, the second being on August 27, 1988. Earlier sources compute this as a 0.3% partial eclipse lasting under 14 minutes, and newest calculations list it as a penumbral eclipse that never enters the umbral shadow. 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, 53 minutes and 50.6 seconds in all, though for most of it, the eclipse was extremely difficult or impossible to see. The Moon was 2.2 days after apogee, making it 6.1% smaller than average.
A penumbral lunar eclipse took place on Tuesday, April 14, 1987, the first of two lunar eclipses in 1987, the second being on October 7, 1987. This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 77.703% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth, which caused a gentle shadow gradient across its disc at maximum; the eclipse as a whole lasted 3 hours, 54 minutes and 12.8 seconds. The Moon was just 4.6 days before perigee, making it 0.5% larger than average.
A penumbral lunar eclipse took place between Monday, December 19 and Tuesday, December 20, 1983, the second of two lunar eclipses in 1983. At the maximum eclipse, 88.903% of the Moon's disk 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, 2 minutes and 20.6 seconds. Occurring only 2.7 days before perigee, the Moon's apparent diameter was 2.7% larger than average.
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 or 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. The Moon's apparent diameter was 3.1 days before perigee, the Moon's apparent diameter was 2.2% larger than average.
A penumbral lunar eclipse took place on 10 January 2020, the first of four penumbral lunar eclipses in 2020. It was visible over Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia.
A penumbral lunar eclipse took place on 5 June 2020. It was the second of four penumbral lunar eclipses in 2020.
A penumbral lunar eclipse took place at the Moon's descending node of the orbit on Tuesday, August 26, 1980, the last of three penumbral lunar eclipses in 1980 with a penumbral magnitude of 0.70891. This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 70.891% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth, which caused a gentle shadow gradient across its disc at maximum; the eclipse as a whole lasted 3 hours, 34 minutes and 26 seconds. Occurring only 1.7 days before perigee, the Moon's apparent diameter was 4.6% larger than average. At greatest eclipse, the Moon was only 363,116.41 km from the Earth.
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. The Moon was only 0.9 days before perigee, making it 5.8% larger than average.
A penumbral lunar eclipse took place on Friday, June 15, 1973, the second of four lunar eclipses in 1973, lasting over 3 hours. This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours, 24 minutes and 39.8 seconds, just 46.852% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow. The Moon was only 0.2 days after apogee, making it 6.5% smaller than average.
A penumbral lunar eclipse took place on Thursday, January 18, 1973, the first of four lunar eclipses in 1973, lasting almost 4 hours. At maximum eclipse, 86.555% 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 3 hours, 56 minutes and 33.7 seconds overall. The Moon was only 2 days after perigee, making it 3.9% larger than average. At greatest eclipse, the Moon's center was 365,613 km from the Earth's center, only 5,613 km to be a Super Full Moon.
A total lunar eclipse took place on Monday, April 24, 1967, the first of two total lunar eclipses in 1967, the second being on October 18, 1967. The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 18 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 33.559% 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, 22 minutes and 47.9 seconds in total. Occurring only 0.7 days after perigee, the Moon's apparent diameter was 6% larger than average.
A penumbral lunar eclipse took place on Wednesday, April 2, 1969, the first of three penumbral lunar eclipses in 1969, the second being on Wednesday, August 27, and the last being on Thursday, September 25. This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 70.337% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth, which caused a gentle shadow gradient across its disc at maximum; the eclipse as a whole lasted 3 hours, 43 minutes and 46.9 seconds. Occurring only 4.2 days before perigee, the Moon's apparent diameter was 0.9% larger than average.
A penumbral lunar eclipse took place on Wednesday, May 4, 1966, the first of two penumbral lunar eclipses in 1966, the second being on October 29, 1966. A penumbral lunar eclipse occurs when the Full Moon passes exclusively in the Earth's penumbral shadow without touching the Earth's umbral shadow. This can only happen in northern or southern edges. At maximum eclipse, 91.576% 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, 6 minutes and 2.5 seconds overall. Occurring only 3.3 days after perigee, the Moon's apparent diameter was 2% larger than average. It was visible from South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia and Antarctica.
