A penumbral lunar eclipse took place on 30 November 2020. A penumbral lunar eclipse occurs at full moon when the Moon passes through Earth's penumbral shadow.
The penumbra caused a subtle dimming on the lunar surface, which was only visible to the naked eye when 82.85% of the Moon's diameter had immersed into Earth's penumbral shadow.[1]
A lunar eclipse will be preceded and followed by solar eclipses by 9 years and 5.5 days (a half saros).[2] This lunar eclipse is related to two partial solar eclipses of Solar Saros 123.
