Frequently asked questions
When is the lunar eclipse in 2038?
There is no lunar eclipse visible to the naked eye in 2038. The penumbral eclipses of the year only dim the Moon slightly. The next one is a partial lunar eclipse on Monday, June 6, 2039, greatest eclipse at 6:53 PM UTC.
Is it safe to watch a lunar eclipse?
Yes. What you see during a lunar eclipse is moonlight, which is safe for the naked eye, binoculars, and cameras at every stage. The whole night side of Earth sees it at the same time, so the only things that matter are clear skies and the Moon being above your horizon.
