A total lunar eclipse will take place on August 28, 2007, the second of two lunar eclipses to occur in 2007. The Moon is expected to enter the Earth’s penumbra at 07:53:39 UTC. The first partial phase will begin in earnest at 08:51:16 UTC when the Moon enters the Earth’s umbra.

The total phase is expected to begin at 09:52:22 UTC and end at 11:22:24 UTC– a length of 1 hour, 30 minutes, and 2 seconds. This is a typical duration for such an event. The umbral magnitude is expected to be 1.4760.

The second partial phase is expected to begin at 11:22:24 UTC when the Moon starts to slip out of the Earth’s umbra. The partial phase of the eclipse will end at 12:23:30 UTC, with the penumbral phase expected to terminate at 13:21:01 UTC.
