Footnotes
1Umbral magnitude is the fraction of the Moon’s diameter obscured by Earth’s Umbra. For penumbral eclipses, the umbral magnitude is always less than 0. For partial eclipses, the umbral magnitude is always greater than 0 and less than 1. For total eclipses, the umbral magnitude is always greater than or equal to 1. 2Eclipse Duration is the duration of a partial eclipse. If the eclipse is total, the duration of totality is given in bold.
3Geographic Region of Eclipse Visibility is the portion of Earth’s surface where a lunar eclipse can be seen.
