Viewing advice
A very shallow partial eclipse, about 6.8% umbral coverage; easy to miss. Not to be confused with the deep 93%-coverage eclipse of August 2026.
The best time to see Shallow Partial Lunar Eclipse in 2028 is January 12, 2028. Timing status: Predicted dates.
A whisper of a partial eclipse.
This one barely qualifies: less than seven percent of the Moon dips into Earth's shadow, so most viewers will need to look closely to notice anything unusual at all. Compare it with August 2026's eclipse, which took a 93 percent bite out of the Moon, and the difference is obvious. We are seeding this one because it clears the catalog's US-visibility bar, not because it is a must-see. The honest verdict: skip it unless you are already watching the sky that night. A second partial eclipse on July 6, 2028 was checked and skipped, since it is visible only from Asia, Australia, and East Africa.
