A total [[lunar eclipse]] will occur at the Moon’s [[Lunar node|ascending node]] of orbit on Tuesday, June 26, 2029,<ref>{{cite web|title=June 25–26, 2029 Total Lunar Eclipse (Blood Moon)|url=https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/lunar/2029-june-26|publisher=timeanddate|access-date=20 November 2024}}</ref> with an umbral [[Magnitude of eclipse|magnitude]] of 1.8452. It will be a [[List of central lunar eclipses|central lunar eclipse]], in which part of the [[Moon]] will pass through the [[antisolar point|center]] of the [[Earth's shadow]]. 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 about 3.7 days before [[Apsis|perigee]] (on June 22, 2029, at 11:30 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=2029&n=136|publisher=timeanddate|access-date=20 November 2024}}</ref>

Totality will last 1 hour, 41 minutes, and 53 seconds, the maximum duration for [[Lunar Saros 130|Saros series 130]]. The eclipse will plunge the [[full Moon]] into deep darkness, as it passes right through the center of the Earth's umbral shadow. While the visual effect of a total eclipse is variable, the [[Moon]] may be stained a deep orange or red color at maximum eclipse.

With an [[Magnitude of eclipse|umbral eclipse magnitude]] of 1.84520, this will be the largest lunar eclipse of the [[List of 21st-century lunar eclipses|21st century]]. [[Gamma (eclipse)|Gamma]] will have a value of only 0.01240. Due to the Moon's relatively large size as seen from [[Earth]] and greater speed in its elliptical orbit, totality will not last over 106 minutes. This will be the darkest total lunar eclipse in the 21st century.

During the eclipse, [[NGC 6629]] will be occulted by the [[Moon]] over the [[Pacific Ocean]] and [[South America]]. [[Deep-sky object]]s are rarely occulted during a total eclipse from any given spot on Earth.<ref name="Mus2002">{{cite book |date=2002 |first=Jan |last=Meeus |chapter=Occultations of deep-sky objects during a total lunar eclipse |pages=157–162 |title=More Mathematical Astronomy Morsels |isbn=0943396743 |url=https://falakmu.id/khgt/dokumen/More%20mathematical%20astronomy%20morsels%20(Jean%20Meeus)%20(Z-Library).pdf}}</ref>{{rp|161}}

== Visibility ==
The eclipse will be completely visible over eastern [[North America]], [[South America]], and [[west Africa]], seen rising over western and central North America and the eastern [[Pacific Ocean]] and setting over [[Africa]], [[Europe]], and the [[Middle East]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Total Lunar Eclipse of 2029 Jun 26|url=https://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/LEplot/LEplot2001/LE2029Jun26T.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]]. The first and last eclipse in this sequence is separated by one [[month#Synodic month|synodic month]].
