A penumbral lunar eclipse will take place on October 28, 2042, according to some sources. This will be 0.4 days after the Moon reached perigee (making it a supermoon). This event marks the beginning of lunar saros cycle 156 according to some sources, and will be visually imperceptible and other sources have this as a miss.[1]
According to some sources, it will be the last of 5 Metonic cycle eclipses occurring every 19 years on October 28, while the other sources calculate the Moon will miss the shadow.
