A total [[lunar eclipse]] will occur at the Moon’s [[Lunar node|ascending node]] of orbit on Saturday, January 31, 2037,<ref>{{cite web|title=January 31–February 1, 2037 Total Lunar Eclipse (Blood Moon)|url=https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/lunar/2037-january-31|publisher=timeanddate|access-date=29 November 2024}}</ref> with an umbral [[Magnitude of eclipse|magnitude]] of 1.2086. A lunar eclipse occurs when the [[Moon]] moves into the [[Earth's shadow]], causing the Moon to be darkened. A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon's near side entirely passes into the Earth's umbral shadow. 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. A total lunar eclipse can last up to nearly two hours, while a total solar eclipse lasts only a few minutes at any given place, because the Moon's [[Umbra, penumbra and antumbra|shadow]] is smaller. Occurring only about 12 hours before [[Apsis|perigee]] (on February 1, 2037, at 2:00 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter will be larger.<ref>{{cite web|title=Moon Distances for London, United Kingdom, England|url=https://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/moon/distance.html?year=2037&n=136|publisher=timeanddate|access-date=29 November 2024}}</ref>

This eclipse occurs during a [[supermoon]] and a [[blue moon]] (second full moon of month), of which the most recent occurrence was on [[January 2018 lunar eclipse|January 31, 2018]], one previous [[metonic cycle]] (19 years).

== Visibility ==
The eclipse will be completely visible over [[east Asia|east]] and [[northeast Asia]], [[Australia]], and northwestern [[North America]], seen rising over [[west Asia]], [[eastern Europe]], and [[east Africa]] and setting over most of North America and the eastern [[Pacific Ocean]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Total Lunar Eclipse of 2037 Jan 31|url=https://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/LEplot/LEplot2001/LE2037Jan31T.pdf|publisher=NASA|access-date=29 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]].
