This page contains a summary of all eclipses of the Moon occurring in the recent past and near future. Each eclipse has a link to a page providing full details, including maps of the visibility of the eclipse.

This site has data on every eclipse from 2000 BC to 3000 AD. If you would like to browse all the eclipses, go to the full lunar eclipse catalog; or you can search the entire database.

For every eclipse, I've shown its date, magnitude, and Saros series number. The magnitude represents the fraction of the Moon's disc that is obscured by the Earth's umbral shadow; this will always be 1.00 or more for a total eclipse, and for a partial eclipse shows how much of the Moon's face will be in shadow.

You can click on the date of any eclipse to go to a page of details, including maps, for that eclipse.

You might also want to look at my eclipse statistics page, and the full catalog of 5,000 years of solar and lunar eclipses.

Lunar Eclipses in the Next 20 Years

The following chart shows the position where the Moon is directly overhead at the maximum times of the total (in blue) and partial (in red) lunar eclipses (penumbral eclipses are omitted). Each eclipse will be visible approximately from the half of the Earth centred on that point. Use the zoom controls on the left to zoom in and out; hover over a marker to see the area of visibility and summary information on that eclipse.

The interactive map is currently not available.

Note that eclipse dates are specified relative to UT. You have not selected a timezone for eclipse timings, so all times are shown in UT (essentially GMT).
28 Oct, 2023 AD
18:01–22:26 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.12; Saros 146)
At maximum eclipse, a small bite out of the Moon should have been visible from most of Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia. The eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 17 minutes, with just 12% of the Moon in shadow at maximum.
   
25 Mar, 2024 AD
04:53–09:32 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.96; Saros 113)
At maximum eclipse, 96% of the Moon's disc will be partially shaded by the Earth, which will cause a slight shadow gradient across its disc; this subtle effect may be visible to careful observers. No part of the Moon will be in complete shadow. The eclipse will last 4 hours and 39 minutes overall, and will be visible from far eastern Asia and Australia, the Americas, and western Europe and Africa.
   
18 Sep, 2024 AD
00:41–04:47 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.08; Saros 118)
A tiny bite out of the Moon may be visible at maximum, though just 8% of the Moon will be shadowed in a partial eclipse lasting for 1 hour and 3 minutes and visible across the Americas, Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should be visible at maximum eclipse.
   
14 Mar, 2025 AD
03:57–10:00 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.18; Saros 123)
A shallow total eclipse will see the Moon in relative darkness for 1 hour and 5 minutes. The Moon will be 18% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should be significantly darkened for viewers from the Americas and extreme western Africa. The partial eclipse will last for 3 hours and 38 minutes in total.
   
7 Sep, 2025 AD
15:28–20:55 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.36; Saros 128)
The Moon will be plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 22 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which will see the Moon 36% 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 for observers in most of Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia. The partial eclipse will last for 3 hours and 29 minutes in total.
   
3 Mar, 2026 AD
08:44–14:22 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.15; Saros 133)
A shallow total eclipse will see the Moon in relative darkness for 58 minutes and 18 seconds. The Moon will be 15% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should be significantly darkened for viewers in east Asia, Australia, North America, and Central America. The partial eclipse will last for 3 hours and 27 minutes in total.
   
28 Aug, 2026 AD
01:23–07:01 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.93; Saros 138)
The Moon will be almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, lasting 3 hours and 18 minutes and visible from the Americas and western Europe and Africa. With 93% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this will be quite a memorable event.
   
20 Feb, 2027 AD
21:12 on 20 Feb–01:13 on 21 Feb UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.93; Saros 143)
At maximum eclipse, 93% of the Moon's disc will be partially shaded by the Earth, which will cause a slight shadow gradient across its disc; this subtle effect may be visible to careful observers. No part of the Moon will be in complete shadow. The eclipse will last 4 hours and 1 minute overall, and will be visible from the eastern Americas, Europe, Africa, and most of Asia.
   
18 Jul, 2027 AD
15:56–16:08 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.00; Saros 110)
In this virtually non-existant eclipse, the Moon barely clips the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow; although the eclipse will last 11 minutes and 48 seconds, it will be impossible to see in practice. The full Moon itself will be visible from south-eastern Africa, south Asia, and Australia, and of course will be a lovely sight as always.
   
17 Aug, 2027 AD
05:24–09:03 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.55; Saros 148)

The full Moon itself will be visible from eastern Australia and New Zealand, the Americas, and far western Africa.
12 Jan, 2028 AD
02:07–06:18 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse

A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should be visible at maximum eclipse.
   
6 Jul, 2028 AD
15:44–20:54 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.39; Saros 120)
The Earth's shadow on the moon will be clearly visible in this eclipse, with 39% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse will last for 2 hours and 22 minutes and will be visible from most of Africa, south and east Europe, Asia, and Australia.
   
31 Dec, 2028 AD
14:03–19:40 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.25; Saros 125)
The Moon will be plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 11 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which will see the Moon 25% 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 for observers in north-east Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia, north-western Canada, and Alaska. The partial eclipse will last for 3 hours and 29 minutes in total.
   
26 Jun, 2029 AD
00:34–06:09 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.84; Saros 130)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 42 minutes 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 from most of the Americas and western Europe and Africa. The partial eclipse will last for 3 hours and 40 minutes in total.

This subtle penumbral eclipse may be visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 94% of the Moon's disc will be partially shaded by the Earth (none of it will be in total shadow), which will cause a gentle shadow gradient across its disc at maximum; the eclipse as a whole will last 4 hours and 39 minutes. The Moon will be visible from the Americas, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and most of Asia.

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.13; Saros 150)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clips the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This will cause a microscopic darkening of just 13% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 36 minutes, which will be essentially impossible to see. The full Moon itself will be visible from east Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and the western Americas, and of course will be a lovely sight as always.
