    • Source: March 1941 lunar eclipse

      • A partial lunar eclipse occurred at the Moon’s ascending node of orbit on Thursday, March 13, 1941, with an umbral magnitude of 0.3226. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves into the Earth's shadow, causing the Moon to be darkened. A partial lunar eclipse occurs when one part of the Moon is in the Earth's umbra, while the other part is in 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. Occurring about 1.5 days before perigee (on March 14, 1941, at 23:05 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter was larger.


      Visibility


      The eclipse was completely visible over northeast Asia, eastern Australia, and western North America, seen rising over much of Asia and western Australia and setting over much of North and South 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.

      Lunar Saros series 112, repeating every 18 years and 11 days, has a total of 72 lunar eclipse events including 15 total lunar eclipses.

      There are 11 series events between 1901 and 2100, grouped into threes (called an exeligmos), each column with approximately the same viewing longitude on Earth.


      = Half-Saros cycle

      =
      A lunar eclipse will be preceded and followed by solar eclipses by 9 years and 5.5 days (a half saros). This lunar eclipse is related to two annular solar eclipses of Solar Saros 119.
