A penumbral lunar eclipse will occur at the Moon’s descending node of orbit on Friday, March 3, 2045,[1] with an umbral magnitude of −0.0148.

A penumbral lunar eclipse occurs when part or all of the Moon's near side passes into the Earth's penumbra.

Occurring about 1.8 days after perigee (on March 1, 2045, at 13:40 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter will be larger.

[2] The eclipse will be completely visible over North and South America, seen rising over northeast Asia and eastern Australia and setting over west Africa and western Europe.

Because it occurs on the same calendar date, the Earth's shadow will be in nearly the same location relative to the background stars.

This eclipse is a part of Saros series 143, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, and containing 72 events.
