Choose a local instant to find the strictly previous and next global lunar eclipse peaks. Results include eclipse type, peak time, the fraction of the Moon's disc covered by Earth's umbra, and modeled phase durations.
The nearest eclipse peak in time is the previous partial lunar eclipse, peaking 3 days, 4 hours, 36 minutes before the selected instant.
Penumbral timing runs from P1 to P4. The umbral interval runs from U1 to U4, and totality from U2 to U3. Contact times are reconstructed from the astronomy model's semi-durations around the calculated peak.
This finder identifies lunar eclipses that occur somewhere on Earth. It does not determine whether the Moon is above the horizon, whether the eclipse occurs in darkness, or whether clouds permit viewing at a particular location. Umbral obscuration is apparent disc area covered, not the different quantity called umbral magnitude in NASA catalogues.
Use the Moon Position Calculator to inspect the Moon from a location at a selected instant. Read the eclipse calculation methods and tolerances and primary sources for validation details.
