Penumbral Lunar Eclipse: July 7, 2009

Geographic Region: Australia, Pacific Ocean, Americas

July's penumbral eclipse is only of academic interest since the magnitude is just 0.156. Although the Moon will be above the horizon from most of Canada, the eclipse is so minor as to be completely invisible to the naked eye.
