Partial Lunar Eclipse

Why this matters

NASA GSFC lists a partial lunar eclipse on July 6, 2028. Greatest eclipse is at 18:20:57 UTC; the partial phase lasts about 2 hours 21 minutes. The broad visibility region spans Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia.

This is a real umbral eclipse, not a faint penumbral-only event. Visibility and timing depend on the observer’s location and whether the Moon is above the horizon; check local circumstances before planning.
