March 1951 lunar eclipse

A penumbral lunar eclipse took place on March 23, 1951. This subtle penumbral eclipse eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 64% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth (none of it was in total shadow), which caused a gentle shadow gradient across its disc at maximum; the eclipse as a whole lasted 3 hours and 34 minutes.

gollark: You could use GitHub Pages and a madefor.cc subdomain.
gollark: > Clearly the best strategy is to write not one, but two documentation generators just so you can actually write docs.Great, I'll implement a documentation generator entirely in Lua patterns which just reads the code comments?
gollark: The PotatOS API docs just give a very rough type signature and description.
gollark: Note that it IS still `function()` in the actual function declaration.
gollark: Plausibly.
