- Source: November 1974 lunar eclipse
A total lunar eclipse took place on Friday, November 29, 1974, the second of two lunar eclipses in 1974. The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour, 15 minutes and 45 seconds, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 28.961% 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 have been stained a deep red colour. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours, 28 minutes and 58.7 seconds in total. The penumbral eclipse lasted for 5 hours, 33 minutes and 11.6 seconds. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours, 28 minutes and 58.7 seconds. The total eclipse lasted for 1 hour, 15 minutes and 45 seconds. Occurring only 3.6 days before perigee (Perigee on Tuesday, December 3, 1974), the Moon's apparent diameter was 1.4% larger than average.
Visibility
It was completely visible over Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, Pacific, western North America, seen rising over Europe and Africa and setting over the central Pacific Ocean and North America.
