- Source: April 2032 lunar eclipse
A total lunar eclipse will occur at the Moon’s ascending node of orbit on Sunday, April 25, 2032, with an umbral magnitude of 1.1925. 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. The Moon's apparent diameter will be near the average diameter because it will occur 6.7 days after apogee (on April 18, 2032, at 23:00 UTC) and 8.1 days before perigee (on May 3, 2032, at 16:45 UTC).
This lunar eclipse is the first of a tetrad, with four total lunar eclipses in series, the others being on October 18, 2032; April 14, 2033; and October 8, 2033.
Visibility
The eclipse will be completely visible over east Asia, Australia, and Antarctica, seen rising over east and central Africa, eastern Europe, and west and central Asia and setting over the eastern Pacific Ocean and western North America.
Eclipse details
Shown below is a table displaying details about this particular solar eclipse. It describes various parameters pertaining to this eclipse.
Eclipse season
This eclipse is part of an eclipse season, a period, roughly every six months, when eclipses occur. Only two (or occasionally three) eclipse seasons occur each year, and each season lasts about 35 days and repeats just short of six months (173 days) 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.
