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.

max: 01:41 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.01; Saros 174)
|
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 1% of the Moon's disc for 28 minutes and 6 seconds, which will be essentially impossible to see.

max: 07:57 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.67; Saros 174)
|
This subtle penumbral eclipse may be visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 67% 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 3 hours and 25 minutes.

8 Jun, 2924 AD
max: 15:37 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.78; Saros 174)
|
This subtle penumbral eclipse may be visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 78% 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 3 hours and 39 minutes.
|
|

|
The Moon will approach within 4% of the Earth's umbral shadow at maximum eclipse; 90% of the Moon's disc will be partially shaded by the Earth, with the overall eclipse lasting 3 hours and 52 minutes. While less dramatic than a partial eclipse (as no part of the Moon will be in complete shadow), a shading across the Moon should be readily visible to observers.

max: 06:43 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.09; Saros 174)
|
A tiny bite out of the Moon may be visible at maximum, though just 9% of the Moon will be shadowed in a partial eclipse lasting for 1 hour and 3 minutes. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should be visible at maximum eclipse.
