A total lunar eclipse will occur at the Moon’s ascending node of orbit on Sunday, July 7, 2047,{{cite web|title=July 6–7, 2047 Total Lunar Eclipse (Blood Moon)|url=https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/lunar/2047-july-7|publisher=timeanddate|access-date=11 December 2024}} with an umbral magnitude of 1.7529. It will be a central lunar eclipse, in which part of the Moon will pass through the center of the Earth's shadow. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves into the Earth's shadow, causing the Moon to be darkened. A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon's near side entirely passes into the Earth's umbral shadow. Unlike a solar eclipse, which can only be viewed from a relatively small area of the world, a lunar eclipse may be viewed from anywhere on the night side of Earth. A total lunar eclipse can last up to nearly two hours, while a total solar eclipse lasts only a few minutes at any given place, because the Moon's shadow is smaller. Occurring about 3.4 days after perigee (on July 4, 2047, at 0:55 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter will be larger.{{cite web|title=Moon Distances for London, United Kingdom, England|url=https://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/moon/distance.html?year=2047&n=136|publisher=timeanddate|access-date=11 December 2024}}

Totality will last 100 minutes 49 seconds, the second longest for this Saros series.

Visibility

The eclipse will be completely visible over eastern Australia, Antarctica, and the central and eastern Pacific Ocean, seen rising over east Asia and western Australia and setting over North and South America.{{cite web|title=Total Lunar Eclipse of 2047 Jul 07|url=https://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/LEplot/LEplot2001/LE2047Jul07T.pdf|publisher=NASA|access-date=11 December 2024}}

Eclipse season

This eclipse is part of an eclipse season, a period, roughly every six months, when eclipses occur. Only two (or occasionally three) eclipse seasons occur each year, and each season lasts about 35 days and repeats just short of six months (173 days) later; thus two full eclipse seasons always occur each year. Either two or three eclipses happen each eclipse season. In the sequence below, each eclipse is separated by a fortnight. The first and last eclipse in this sequence is separated by one synodic month.
