July 2083 lunar eclipse


A total lunar eclipse will occur at the Moon’s ascending node of orbit on Thursday, July 29, 2083, with an umbral magnitude of 1.4791. It will be a central lunar eclipse, in which part of the Moon will pass through the center of the Earth's shadow. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves into the Earth's shadow, causing the Moon to be darkened. A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon's near side entirely passes into the Earth's umbral shadow. Unlike a solar eclipse, which can only be viewed from a relatively small area of the world, a lunar eclipse may be viewed from anywhere on the night side of Earth. A total lunar eclipse can last up to nearly two hours, while a total solar eclipse lasts only a few minutes at any given place, because the Moon's shadow is smaller. Occurring about 2.9 days after perigee, the Moon's apparent diameter will be larger.
This lunar eclipse will be the second of an almost tetrad, with the others being on February 2, 2083 ; January 22, 2084 ; and July 17, 2084.
This will be the last central lunar eclipse of Lunar Saros 130.

Visibility

The eclipse will be completely visible over much of South America, Africa, western Europe, and Antarctica, seen rising over North America and the eastern Pacific Ocean and setting over eastern Europe, the western half of Asia, and western Australia.

Eclipse season

This eclipse is part of an eclipse season, a period, roughly every six months, when eclipses occur. Only two eclipse seasons occur each year, and each season lasts about 35 days and repeats just short of six months later; thus two full eclipse seasons always occur each year. Either two or three eclipses happen each eclipse season. In the sequence below, each eclipse is separated by a fortnight. The first and last eclipse in this sequence is separated by one synodic month.
