Moon Day Info

On May 26 2021 a first total lunar eclipse since the January 2019 will take place, and will be visible in areas of southeast Asia, all of Australia, all of Oceania, most of Alaska and Canada, all of the lower 48 states, all of Hawaii, all of Mexico and Central America, and most of South America.

A penumbral lunar eclipse will take place on November 30th 2020, and will be visible in North and South America, Australia, and parts of Asia.

On July 5th 2020 a penumbral lunar eclipse will take place, and it will be visible from some parts of North America during moonrise.

It’s the Strawberry Moon, and a penumbral lunar eclipse will take place on June 5 2020. The eclipse will last approximately 3 and a half hours.

A penumbral lunar eclipse is taking place on 10 January 2020. It will be the first of four penumbral lunar eclipses in 2020.

A partial lunar eclipse occurred on the 16 and 17 July 2019. The Moon was covered about 65% by the Earth’s umbral shadow at maximum eclipse.

On 21 January 2019 (Coordinated Universal Time) a total lunar eclipse will will be available for viewers in the Americas, Europe, and most of Africa. For South and North America the eclipse will take place between the evening of January 20 and the early morning January 21. This eclipse coincides with “supermoon” — the closest distance that the Moon reaches to Earth in its orbit.

On July 27 the second total lunar eclipse of 2018 will happen — the longest total lunar eclipse in the 21st century. It will last approximately 103 minutes.

The Moon will pass through the center of the Earth’s shadow for the first time in seven years.

It will be completely visible over Eastern Africa, and Central Asia. It will be seen rising over South America, Western Africa, and Europe, and setting over Eastern Asia, and Australia.

A total lunar eclipse will take place on January 31, 2018.

The January 31 lunar eclipse takes place during the third of a supermoon triple. A supermoon is a full moon or a new moon that approximately coincides with the closest distance that the Moon reaches to Earth in its elliptic orbit, resulting in a larger-than-usual apparent size of the lunar disk as seen from Earth.

January 31, 2018 eclipse is also the second full moon of the month, the first having taken place on January 1. This makes it a blue moon.

A partial lunar eclipse will take place on August 7/8, 2017, the second of two lunar eclipses in 2017. The Moon will only be slightly covered by the Earth’s umbral shadow at maximum eclipse.
