Lunar eclipses
A lunar eclipse can be seen from anywhere the Moon is above the horizon at the time. Penumbral eclipses only dim the Moon slightly and are easy to miss.

What's the difference?
A solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth and its shadow falls on Earth. Only people inside the dark center of the shadow, a path usually less than 300 km wide, see a total eclipse; a much wider area sees a partial one. When the Moon is too far from Earth to cover the Sun completely, it leaves a bright ring: an annular eclipse. A hybrid eclipse is total along part of its path and annular along the rest.
A lunar eclipse happens when Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon and Earth's shadow falls on the Moon. During totality the Moon turns a coppery red, lit only by sunlight bent through Earth's atmosphere. Everyone on the night side of Earth sees it at the same time.
Watching safely
Never look at the Sun directly, even when most of it is covered: a thin crescent can still burn your retina, and you won't feel it happening. Ordinary sunglasses are not enough.
Use eclipse glasses or handheld viewers that meet the ISO 12312-2 standard, from a reputable supplier, and check them for scratches first.
Cameras, binoculars and telescopes need a proper solar filter over the front. Never use them through eclipse glasses.
A pinhole projector, even the gaps between your fingers or leaves on a tree, lets you watch the crescent Sun's image safely.
Only during totality, when the Moon completely covers the Sun, is it safe to look with your bare eyes. Put your glasses back on as soon as the Sun starts to reappear.

How this is calculated
Eclipse times, types and the location calculator use the Astronomy Engine library in your browser. We checked all 47 eclipses listed here against NASA's eclipse catalog: every date and type agrees. Durations and regions are NASA's. NASA's times are given in Terrestrial Time, about 70 seconds ahead of the UTC shown here.
