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. Note
that we only have mapping data for
eclipses from year 1 AD, so any eclipses prior to that
date will be missing. 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.

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.03; Saros 110)
|
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 3% of the Moon's disc for 47 minutes and 42 seconds, which was essentially impossible to see.

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.
