The next Lunar eclipse on Earth is not always the next one visible from where you are. Eclipse visibility depends on your location, so the dates below answer both questions: when the next eclipse occurs anywhere in the world, and when you can see one from your selected location.
The Next Lunar Eclipse
The next eclipse worldwide is a Penumbral Lunar eclipse on 20 February 2027. The card below shows the event timing, phases, visibility area and other details.
A penumbral lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes through Earth’s lighter outer shadow without entering the umbra. It begins at 20 February 2027, 12:14 (GMT-9), reaches maximum at 20 February 2027, 14:14, when about 96% of the lunar disk is within the penumbra, and ends at 20 February 2027, 16:14. This subtle dimming can be difficult to notice.
