A total lunar eclipse will take place between Monday and Tuesday, June 25-26, 2029. A central total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 41 minutes 53 seconds will plunge the full Moon into deep darkness, as it passes right through the centre of the Earth's umbral shadow. While the visual effect of a total eclipse is variable, the Moon may be stained a deep orange or red color at maximum eclipse. It will be able to be seen from most of the Americas, Western Europe and Africa. The partial eclipse will last for 3 hours and 39 minutes 32 seconds in total.
The moon will pass through the center of the Earth's shadow. Totality will last 101 minutes 53 seconds, the maximum duration for Saros series 130.
With an umbral eclipse magnitude of 1.84362, this is the largest lunar eclipse of the 21st century. Gamma has a value of only 0.01240. Due to the Moon's relatively large size as seen from Earth and greater speed in its elliptical orbit, totality will not last over 106 minutes. This is the darkest and greatest total lunar eclipse in the 21st century.
