July 2083 lunar eclipse

A total lunar eclipse will take place on July 29, 2083. The Moon will be plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 30 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which will see the Moon 48% of its diameter inside the Earth's umbral shadow. The visual effect of this depends on the state of the Earth's atmosphere, but the Moon may be stained a deep red colour. The partial eclipse will last for 3 hours and 33 minutes in total.

The moon will pass through the center of the Earth's shadow. This is the last central lunar eclipse of Saros cycle 130.

Visibility

Saros series

Lunar saros series 130, repeating every 18 years and 11 days, has a total of 71 lunar eclipse events including 56 umbral lunar eclipses (42 partial lunar eclipses and 14 total lunar eclipses). Solar Saros 137 interleaves with this lunar saros with an event occurring every 9 years 5 days alternating between each saros series.

Greatest First

The greatest eclipse of the series will occur on 2029 Jun 26, lasting 102 minutes.[1]		 Penumbral Partial Total Central

gollark: Hmm, I think you beat us...
gollark: <@237328509234708481> I think mine is shorter.
gollark: Oh no. Codegolfing...
gollark: I think the nonexistent function call will error too.
