A total lunar eclipse will take place on Saturday, January 31, 2037. The Moon will be plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 3 minutes 41 seconds, in a moderately deep total eclipse which will see the Moon 20.74% of its diameter inside the Earth's umbral shadow. The visual effect of this depends on the state of the Earth's atmosphere, but the Moon may be stained a deep red colour for observers in north and west North America, most of Asia, Australia and New Zealand. The partial eclipse will last for 3 hours and 17 minutes 28 seconds in total.[1] It occurs during a supermoon (perigee), and blue moon (second full moon of month), just like the eclipse of January 31, 2018, one metonic cycle (19 years) previous.
