A penumbral lunar eclipse will occur at the Moon’s ascending node of orbit on Tuesday, June 15, 2049,[1] with an umbral magnitude of −0.6970. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves into the Earth's shadow, causing the Moon to be darkened. A penumbral lunar eclipse occurs when part or all of the Moon's near side passes into 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 only about 23.5 hours before perigee (on June 16, 2049, at 18:40 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter will be larger.[2]
Visibility
[edit | edit source]The eclipse will be completely visible over central and east Africa, eastern Europe, much of Asia, Australia, and Antarctica, seen rising over west Africa and western Europe and setting over northeast Asia and the western Pacific Ocean.[3]

Eclipse details
[edit | edit source]Shown below is a table displaying details about this particular solar eclipse. It describes various parameters pertaining to this eclipse.[4]
| Parameter | Value |

Eclipse season
[edit | edit source]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.

Lunar eclipses of 2049–2052
[edit | edit source]This eclipse is a member of a semester series. An eclipse in a semester series of lunar eclipses repeats approximately every 177 days and 4 hours (a semester) at alternating nodes of the Moon's orbit.[5]
The penumbral lunar eclipses on May 17, 2049 and November 9, 2049 occur in the next lunar year eclipse set.
Saros 150
[edit | edit source]This eclipse is a part of Saros series 150, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, and containing 71 events. The series started with a penumbral lunar eclipse on May 25, 2013. It contains partial eclipses from August 20, 2157 through April 19, 2554; total eclipses from April 29, 2572 through August 28, 2770; and a second set of partial eclipses from September 7, 2788 through February 8, 3041. The series ends at member 71 as a penumbral eclipse on June 30, 3275.
The longest duration of totality will be produced by member 36 at 105 minutes, 16 seconds on July 4, 2680. All eclipses in this series occur at the Moon’s ascending node of orbit.[6]

Eclipses are tabulated in three columns; every third eclipse in the same column is one exeligmos apart, so they all cast shadows over approximately the same parts of the Earth.
Tritos series
[edit | edit source]This eclipse is a part of a tritos cycle, repeating at alternating nodes every 135 synodic months (≈ 3986.63 days, or 11 years minus 1 month). Their appearance and longitude are irregular due to a lack of synchronization with the anomalistic month (period of perigee), but groupings of 3 tritos cycles (≈ 33 years minus 3 months) come close (≈ 434.044 anomalistic months), so eclipses are similar in these groupings.
Inex series
[edit | edit source]This eclipse is a part of the long period inex cycle, repeating at alternating nodes, every 358 synodic months (≈ 10,571.95 days, or 29 years minus 20 days). Their appearance and longitude are irregular due to a lack of synchronization with the anomalistic month (period of perigee). However, groupings of 3 inex cycles (≈ 87 years minus 2 months) comes close (≈ 1,151.02 anomalistic months), so eclipses are similar in these groupings.
