When Is the Next Lunar Eclipse?
The next Lunar eclipse will occur on 20 February 2027.
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, 21:14 (GMT+0), reaches maximum at 20 February 2027, 23:14, when about 96% of the lunar disk is within the penumbra, and ends at 21 February 2027, 01:14. This subtle dimming can be difficult to notice.
