A total lunar eclipse will take place on May 26, 2040. The northern limb of the Moon will pass through the center of the Earth's shadow. This is the second central lunar eclipse of Saros series 131. This lunar event will occur near perigee, as a result, it will be referred to as a "super flower blood moon" or "super blood moon", though not quite as close to Earth as the eclipse of May 26, 2021.

This eclipse is a part of Saros cycle 131, and the second of the series that passes through the center of the Earth's shadow. The first central eclipse of this series took place on May 15-16, 2022.
