List of central lunar eclipses

The orange Moon shows a central lunar eclipse.

A central lunar eclipse is a lunar eclipse in which part of the Moon passes through the center of Earth's shadow.^[1] This type of lunar eclipse typically appears darker than other lunar eclipses. It is relatively rare.

Central lunar eclipses are always total lunar eclipses and have large umbral eclipse magnitude, long duration and small value of gamma.
