penumbral lunar eclipse which will be the number 59 of the 71 eclipses of the
Saros Cycle 114.
Even if it won´t be spectacular, there is the circumstance that this is a rare event of a penumbral lunar eclipse, since it is a total penumbral lunar eclipse, the whole moon disk is darkened inside the penumbra. The part of the disk closer to the shadow will be much darker than the rest.
