Eclipse types: (T)otal, (P)artial, pen(N)umbral
Dates, times, and eclipse types are from Fred Espenak's Fifty
Year Canon of Lunar Eclipses: 1986-2035.
The magnitudes at mid-eclipse were computed with the author's
eclipse model.
The computed and observed magnitudes of total eclipses usually
agree to about 0.5 magnitude. However, when the Earth's
atmosphere contains large quantities of volcanic aerosols,
total eclipses can be significantly fainter. This occurred
during the 9 December 1992 eclipse which followed the huge
eruption of Mt. Pinatubo. The predicted magnitude for this
eclipse was -1.5 while the observed magnitude was +3.0.
