A penumbral lunar eclipse will take place on Sunday, 18 July 2027.[1] The Moon will barely clip the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow, and the eclipse will be impossible to see in practice. The event is listed as a miss[2] by some sources.

Visibility

[edit]

Insofar as it is visible at all, it will be visible over Asia and Australia.
