Eclipse Recurrence — The Saros Cycle
The Saros cycle (6,585.3 days) is a period after which solar and lunar eclipses repeat with similar geometry. Each successive eclipse in the same Saros series shifts approximately 120° westward in longitude.

The Partial Lunar Eclipse is primarily visible from the Northern Hemisphere. Visible regions include: Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, South America. Visible from the night side of Earth — approximately half the world can observe this lunar eclipse.
No special equipment is needed to watch a lunar eclipse. It is completely safe to view with the naked eye throughout the entire event. Binoculars or a telescope enhance the experience and show the shadow boundary more clearly.
Eclipse magnitude measures the fraction of the Sun's or Moon's diameter covered. A magnitude of 0.9059 means 90.6% coverage at greatest eclipse. Magnitude below 1.0 means the eclipse is partial — not fully covered.
Eclipses repeat in the Saros cycle of approximately 18 years and 11 days. The previous similar eclipse in the same Saros series was around June 2010. The next eclipse in the same Saros series will occur on 18 July 2046.
