November 2086 lunar eclipse
A partial lunar eclipse will take place on November 20, 2086. It will be the second of two partial lunar eclipses in 2086 and the first of the last set of partial eclipses in Lunar Saros 127. With a gamma of 0.4799 and umbral magnitude of 0.9865, it is the largest partial lunar eclipse of the 21st century, but not the longest. The longest partial lunar eclipse of the 21st century occurred on November 19, 2021, which happened to be the longest partial lunar eclipse between February 18, 1440, and February 8, 2669. [1] Occurring just 1.5 days after perigee, the Moon's apparent diameter will be larger, and along with the greater speed in its elliptical orbit, as a result, partiality will not last around 3 and a half hours, but 3 hours, 8 minutes, and 8 seconds.[2]
Visibility
It will be visible from Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia.
