Find lunar eclipse peaks before and after an exact date

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.

Eclipse search input

The selected time zone changes input conversion and local display; the physical eclipse instants remain the same. The default is UTC.

Three eclipse paths through Earth's shadow

01

Penumbral

The Moon crosses only Earth's outer shadow; umbral obscuration is zero.

02

Partial

Part of the apparent lunar disc enters the darker umbra.

03

Total

The full apparent disc enters the umbra and reaches a totality interval.

Contact notation: P1–P4 is the penumbral passage, U1–U4 the umbral passage, and U2–U3 totality.

The event times are global. Open a peak in the position calculator above to check whether the Moon is above your local horizon.
