The August 6 2009 lunar eclipse will not be "visible" period. It's a partial penumbral eclipse, meaning that a portion of the moon will dim slightly. The difference in brightness is too small to notice simply by looking, though astronomers using special equipment will be able to detect it.

Where is the next location of lunar eclipse of 2009?

Lunar eclipses happen on the Moon; they are generally visible from the entire night side of the Earth. However, 2009 is an exceptionally bad year for lunar eclipses. There are three "penumbral" lunar eclipses, during which the Moon will be only slightly - and probably not visibly - dimmed. On December 31, 2009, a partial lunar eclipse will be visible from Asia, northern Africa and Europe. There will be a partial eclipse on June 26, 2010, best viewed from Australia. The next total lunar eclipse will occur on December 21, 2010, and should be clearly visible anywhere in North America, weather permitting.


Which part of Nigeria will lunar eclipse be seen in August?

The lunar eclipse of August 6, 2009 will be a penumbral eclipse, meaning that the Moon will pass - partially! - through the outer, brighter layers of the Earth's shadow. While observers with the proper instruments would be able to view the eclipse throughout Africa, Europe or South America (and parts of southwestern Asia) the eclipse will not be generally visible to the naked eye. The most anyone will be able to see is a very slight dimming of the Sun's light shining on one side of the Moon. You can simulate this eclipse. Stand three bright lights a few inches apart; this will represent the Sun. Notice the amount of illumination visible on a small ball at the other end of the room; this represents the Moon. Turn off ONE of the lights. This represents the decrease in illumination caused by the penumbral eclipse. Look at the ball; not much difference, is there? Penumbral lunar eclipses generally are not visible.


Where will the next lunar eclipse be?

There will be three "penumbral" lunar eclipses in 2009; you probably won't notice because the sunlight hitting the Moon won't be decreased by very much. On December 31, 2009, there will be a partial eclipse visible in Europe, Asia and most of Africa. On June June 26, 2010 there will be a partial eclipse visible only in Australia. On December 21, 2010, there will be a good total lunar eclipse visible over all of North America. Mark your calendars!

The December 31, 2009 lunar eclipse will probably not be noticeable; only about 8% of the Moon's surface will be darkened. The June 26, 2010 eclipse will darken a little more than half of the Moon.

For a solar eclipse, you'll see one on August 21, 2017. This total solar eclipse will have a track from Salem, OR to Charleston, SC. Depending on the weather, this may be the finest solar eclipse in US history. December 21, 2010 will bring a total lunar eclipse visible (again, depending on the weather) from anywhere in North America.
