A total lunar eclipse will occur at the Moon’s ascending node of orbit on Tuesday, June 26, 2029,[1] with an umbral magnitude of 1.8452. 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 3.7 days before perigee (on June 22, 2029, at 11:30 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter will be larger.[2]

The moon will pass through the center of the Earth's shadow. Totality will last 1 hour, 41 minutes, and 53 seconds, the maximum duration for Saros series 130. The eclipse will plunge the full Moon into deep darkness, as it passes right through the center of the Earth's umbral shadow. While the visual effect of a total eclipse is variable, the Moon may be stained a deep orange or red color at maximum eclipse.

With an umbral eclipse magnitude of 1.84520, this is the largest lunar eclipse of the 21st century. Gamma has a value of only 0.01240. Due to the Moon's relatively large size as seen from Earth and greater speed in its elliptical orbit, totality will not last over 106 minutes. This is the darkest and greatest total lunar eclipse in the 21st century.

Visibility

[edit]

The eclipse will be completely visible over eastern North America, South America, and west Africa, seen rising over western and central North America and the eastern Pacific Ocean and setting over Africa, Europe, and the Middle East.[3]

Eclipse season

[edit]

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. The first and last eclipse in this sequence is separated by one synodic month.

Metonic series

[edit]

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 be in nearly the same location relative to the background stars.

Saros 130

[edit]

Lunar saros series 130, repeating every 18 years and 11 days, has a total of 71 lunar eclipse events including 56 umbral lunar eclipses (42 partial lunar eclipses and 14 total lunar eclipses). Solar Saros 137 interleaves with this lunar saros with an event occurring every 9 years 5 days alternating between each saros series.

Greatest First

The greatest eclipse of the series will occur on 2029 Jun 26, lasting 102 minutes.[5]

Inex series

[edit]

The inex series repeats eclipses 20 days short of 29 years, repeating on average every 10571.95 days. This period is equal to 358 lunations (synodic months) and 388.5 draconic months. Saros series increment by one on successive Inex events and repeat at alternate ascending and descending lunar nodes.

This period is 383.6734 anomalistic months (the period of the Moon's elliptical orbital precession). Despite the average 0.05 time-of-day shift between subsequent events, the variation of the Moon in its elliptical orbit at each event causes the actual eclipse time to vary significantly. It is a part of Lunar Inex series 40.

All events in this series shown (from 1000 to 2500) are central total lunar eclipses.

Half-Saros cycle

[edit]

A lunar eclipse will be preceded and followed by solar eclipses by 9 years and 5.5 days (a half saros).[6] This lunar eclipse is related to two annular solar eclipses of Solar Saros 137.
