November 2049 lunar eclipse


A penumbral lunar eclipse will occur at the Moon’s descending node of orbit on Tuesday, November 9, 2049, with an umbral magnitude of −0.3541. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves into the Earth's shadow, causing the Moon to be darkened. A penumbral lunar eclipse occurs when part or all of the Moon's near side passes into the Earth's penumbra. 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. The Moon's apparent diameter will be near the average diameter because it will occur 7.1 days after perigee and 6.8 days before apogee.

Visibility

The eclipse will be completely visible over Asia and Australia, seen rising over much of Africa and Europe and setting over the central Pacific Ocean and northwestern North America.

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.
