A Penumbral Lunar Eclipse will occur during the night of 2024 MAR 24-25. All of it for observers in the Americas, and a portion for those in Europe.

This will be a deep penumbral, implying that at mid-eclipse a slight darkening should be visible in a portion of the limb.

Below is my preview graphic for the upcoming eclipse as seen against an imaginary blue wall to make the shadow fully apparent. The predicted event timings are in CDT (UT-5), but will occur at essentially the same real time for all observers experiencing nighttime if adjusted for time zones. The depicted orientation and Moon altitudes are for an observer in Chicagoland.

Photos and descriptions of the eclipse would be welcome additions to this thread.
