A total lunar eclipse will occur at the Moon’s descending node of orbit on Monday, June 28, 2094,{{cite web|title=June 27–28, 2094 Total Lunar Eclipse (Blood Moon)|url=https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/lunar/2094-june-28|publisher=timeanddate|access-date=14 December 2024}} with an umbral magnitude of 1.8249. 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 1.9 days before perigee (on June 30, 2094, at 7:50 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=2094&n=136|publisher=timeanddate|access-date=14 December 2024}}

While the visual effect of a total eclipse is variable, the Moon may be stained a deep orange or red color at maximum eclipse. With a gamma value of only 0.0288 and an umbral eclipse magnitude of 1.8249, this is the greatest eclipse in Lunar Saros 131 as well as the second largest and darkest lunar eclipse of the 21st century.

During the eclipse, NGC 6629 will be occulted by the Moon over Northeast Australia and the Pacific Ocean; NGC 6642 will be occulted by the Moon over New Guinea, Northern Australia and the Pacific Ocean. Deep-sky objects are rarely occulted during a total eclipse from any given spot on Earth.{{cite book |date=2002 |first=Jan |last=Meeus |chapter=Occultations of deep-sky objects during a total lunar eclipse |pages=157-162 |title=More Mathematical Astronomy Morsels |isbn=0943396743 |url=https://falakmu.id/khgt/dokumen/More%20mathematical%20astronomy%20morsels%20(Jean%20Meeus)%20(Z-Library).pdf}}{{rp|161}}
