A penumbral lunar eclipse will take place on Tuesday 17 August 2027. It will cause a subtle dimming as 54.56% of the Moon will cross within Earth's penumbral shadow.
It will be completely visible over the Americas, will be seen rising over New Zealand and eastern Australia, and setting over Portugal and western Africa.
It is part of Saros cycle 148.
A lunar eclipse will be preceded and followed by solar eclipses by 9 years and 5.5 days (a half saros).[1] This lunar eclipse is related to two partial solar eclipses of Solar Saros 155.
