Magnitude 0.927 — the fraction of the Moon’s diameter covered where the eclipse is greatest

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse of Saros series 143. Greatest eclipse at 23:12 UTC. A penumbral eclipse is subtle — the Moon dims slightly rather than darkening visibly. Part of the eclipse happens with the Moon below the horizon here — it rises or sets mid-eclipse.

Magnitude 1.046 — the fraction of the Sun’s diameter covered where the eclipse is greatest, so over 1.0 means totality

Total Solar Eclipse of Saros series 120, magnitude 1.046 where it is greatest. Greatest eclipse at 18:01 UTC. Meade County is right on the edge of this one — the Sun and Moon come within a few hundredths of a degree of touching here, which is inside the margin of the ephemeris this is computed from. Check NASA's map before making plans. Greatest eclipse worldwide is over 71N 156W.

Showing the next 30 of 454 eclipses in the catalogue (2001-2100). Source: NASA Eclipse Web Site (Fred Espenak). Public-domain federal data. Dates, times and magnitudes are NASA’s, converted from Terrestrial Dynamical Time to UTC using the ΔT each row carries. Whether it can be seen from here is computed for Brandenburg, KY (37.99°N, 86.17°W) from the topocentric positions of the Sun and Moon — a verdict within a few hundredths of a degree of a graze is reported as “check the path” rather than guessed. NASA publishes greatest eclipse in UTC; switch the toggle above to UTC to read the rows in the same clock the canon uses, or leave it and read the UTC line under each one.
