The Moon's hourly motion across the Earth's shadow in the constellation of Aquarius
A total lunar eclipse occurred on 28 August 2007, lasting just over 90 minutes. The Moon entered the Earth's penumbra at 7:53:40 UTC. The first partial phase began in earnest at 8:51:16 UTC when the Moon entered the Earth's umbra. It exited the penumbra at 13:20:57 UTC.
It was a relatively rare central eclipse where the Moon crossed the center of the Earth's shadow. It was the most recent central lunar eclipse of Saros series 128 as well as the "longest and deepest lunar eclipse to be seen in 7 years". In the total lunar eclipse of 16 July 2000 the moon passed within two arc minutes of the center of the Earth's shadow. In comparison, this still very deep eclipse was off-center by over 12 minutes of arc.[1] The next total lunar eclipse of a longer duration was on 15 June 2011.
The lunar eclipse was the second one in 2007. The first one occurred on 3 March 2007.
