- Source: March 2044 lunar eclipse
A total lunar eclipse will occur at the Moon’s descending node of orbit on Sunday, March 13, 2044, with an umbral magnitude of 1.2050. 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. Occurring about 6.2 days after perigee (on March 7, 2044, at 15:30 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter will be larger.
This lunar eclipse is the third of a tetrad, with four total lunar eclipses in series, the others being on March 25, 2043; September 19, 2043; and September 7, 2044.
Visibility
The eclipse will be completely visible over east Africa, eastern Europe, and much of Asia, seen rising over west Africa, western Europe, and eastern South America and setting over northeast Asia and Australia.
Shown below is a table displaying details about this particular solar eclipse. It describes various parameters pertaining to this eclipse.
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.

= Metonic series
=
The Metonic cycle repeats nearly exactly every 19 years and represents a Saros cycle plus one lunar year. Because it occurs on the same calendar date, the Earth's shadow will in nearly the same location relative to the background stars.
= Tritos series
=
The tritos series repeats 31 days short of 11 years at alternating nodes. Sequential events have incremental Saros cycle indices.
This series produces 23 total eclipses between June 22, 1880 and August 9, 2120.
= 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 140.
