A penumbral lunar eclipse took place on 5 July 2020, the third of four lunar eclipses in 2020.
The eclipse was visible during moonrise from some parts of North America, some parts of the Pacific Ocean and New Zealand, completely visible in Central and South America, some parts of North America, some parts of Western Africa as well as the extreme part of the South-West coast of South Africa, and visible during moonset from southwestern Europe, most of Africa (except Somalia, Djibouti, Eritrea and a strip of North Eastern Sudan, Egypt and Ethiopia), and some parts of the Indian Ocean.
It is part of Saros cycle 149.
A lunar eclipse will be preceded and followed by solar eclipses by 9 years and 5.5 days (a half saros).[1] This lunar eclipse is related to two partial solar eclipses of Solar Saros 156.
