This lunar eclipse is first of a tetrad, four total lunar eclipses in series. The following tetrad is in 1985 and 1986, starting with a May 1985 lunar eclipse.
The Surveyor 3 probe landed on the moon during this eclipse.[2]

It was visible from Asia, Australia, Pacific Ocean, North America, South America and Antarctica.
It was part of Saros series 121.
This eclipse is the third of four Metonic cycle lunar eclipses on the same date, April 23–24, each separated by 19 years:
A lunar eclipse will be preceded and followed by solar eclipses by 9 years and 5.5 days (a half saros).[3] This lunar eclipse is related to two annular solar eclipses of Solar Saros 128.
