A penumbral [[lunar eclipse]] will occur at the Moon’s [[Lunar node|descending node]] of orbit on Monday, December 9, 2030,<ref>{{cite web|title=December 9–10, 2030 Penumbral Lunar Eclipse|url=https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/lunar/2030-december-9|publisher=timeanddate|access-date=20 November 2024}}</ref> with an umbral [[Magnitude of eclipse|magnitude]] of −0.1613. A lunar eclipse occurs when the [[Moon]] moves into the [[Earth's shadow]], causing the Moon to be darkened. A penumbral lunar eclipse occurs when part or all of the Moon's near side passes into the Earth's penumbra. Unlike a [[solar eclipse]], which can only be viewed from a relatively small area of the world, a lunar eclipse may be viewed from anywhere on the [[night]] side of Earth. Occurring only about 7.5 hours before [[Apsis|apogee]] (on December 10, 2030, at 5:05 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter will be smaller.<ref>{{cite web|title=Moon Distances for London, United Kingdom, England|url=https://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/moon/distance.html?year=2030&n=136|publisher=timeanddate|access-date=20 November 2024}}</ref>

== Visibility ==
The eclipse will be completely visible over [[Africa]], [[Europe]], and [[north Asia|north]], [[west Asia|west]], [[central Asia|central]], and [[south Asia]], seen rising over [[North America|North]] and [[South America]] and setting over [[east Asia]] and western [[Australia]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Penumbral Lunar Eclipse of 2030 Dec 09|url=https://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/LEplot/LEplot2001/LE2030Dec09N.pdf|publisher=NASA|access-date=20 November 2024}}</ref>

== Eclipse season ==
{{See also|Eclipse cycle}}
This eclipse is part of an [[eclipse season]], a period, roughly every six months, when eclipses occur. Only two (or occasionally three) eclipse seasons occur each year, and each season lasts about 35 days and repeats just short of six months (173 days) later; thus two full eclipse seasons always occur each year. Either two or three eclipses happen each eclipse season. In the sequence below, each eclipse is separated by a [[fortnight]].
