About this listing

Partial lunar eclipse visible from the Americas, Europe, and Africa; this corrects the earlier mistaken September 7 total-eclipse entry. NASA gives greatest eclipse at 04:14:04 TD (04:13 UT). Eclipse entries distinguish physical visibility from the political, ritual, and mythic interpretations historically attached to eclipses.
