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.
This is the third eclipse this season.
First eclipse this season: 26 May 2002 Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
Second eclipse this season: 10 June 2002 Annular Solar Eclipse
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 one partial solar eclipse of Solar Saros 156.
