The moon's hourly motion across the Earth's shadow in the constellation of Scorpius.

A penumbral lunar eclipse took place on Monday 24 June 2002, the second of three lunar eclipses in 2002. This penumbral eclipse was visibly imperceptible due to the small entry into the southern penumbral shadow.

This lunar eclipse was during the 2002 FIFA World Cup, occurring only 6 days before the 2002 FIFA World Cup Final, which was won by Brazil.
