A total eclipse of the Moon occurs on Thursday 22 January, 2065 UT, with maximum eclipse at 09:56 UT. The Moon will be plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 9 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which will see the Moon 22% 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 be stained a deep red colour. The partial eclipse will last for 3 hours and 29 minutes in total.
The penumbral eclipse lasts for 5 hours and 38 minutes.
The partial eclipse lasts for 3 hours and 29 minutes.
The total eclipse lasts for 1 hour and 9 minutes.
Maximum eclipse is at 09:56:54 UT.
During this eclipse the Moon will be 7 days after apogee and 5 days before perigee.
At maximum eclipse it will be 0.533° in apparent
diameter, which is around average.
The statistics page has information on the ranges of the sizes of
the Sun and Moon, and the Moon data page displays detailed
information on the Moon's key dates.
Interactive Map
This map shows the visibility of the eclipse at maximum eclipse,
when it will be visible within the bright area on the map. Note that
the map is approximate, and if you
are near the edge of the area of visibility, the moon will be very close
to the horizon and may not be practically visible.
You can use the zoom controls to zoom in and out, and pan to
see areas of interest. The green marker in the centre shows where
the Moon will be directly overhead at maximum eclipse.
The interactive map is currently not available.

the dates and times shown in NASA's eclipse listingsGSFC Eclipse Web Site
The primary source of all the information on eclipses presented here at Hermit Eclipse. (NASA Goddard Space flight Center)
are in the TDT timescale.
The Sun and Moon distances are shown in km, and as a
percentage of their minimum - maximum distances; hence 0%
is the closest possible (Earth's perihelion, or the
Moon's closest possible perigee) and 100% is
the farthest (aphelion, the farthest apogee).
