June 1974 Lunar Eclipse
A partial lunar eclipse took place on Tuesday, June 4, 1974, the first of two lunar eclipses in 1974. The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 3 hours, 13 minutes and 37.1 seconds, with 82.695% of the Moon in darkness at maximum. The Moon was 4.5 days before apogee (Apogee on Sunday, June 9, 1974), making it 4.4% smaller than average. Visibility It was completely visible over South America, Europe, Africa, central Asia, Australia, seen rising over North Altantic Ocean and South America, and setting over Asia and west in Australia.

Lunar Eclipse
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves into the Earth's shadow. Such alignment occurs during an eclipse season, approximately every six months, during the full moon phase, when the Moon's orbital plane is closest to the plane of the Earth's orbit. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are exactly or very closely aligned (in syzygy) with Earth between the other two, which can happen only on the night of a full moon when the Moon is near either lunar node. The type and length of a lunar eclipse depend on the Moon's proximity to the lunar node. When the moon is totally eclipsed by the Earth, it takes on a reddish color that is caused by the planet when it completely blocks direct sunlight from reaching the Moon surface, as only the light reflected from the lunar surface has been refracted by Earth's atmosphere. This light appears reddish due to the Rayleigh scattering of blue light, the same reason sunrise and sunsets are more orange than during the day. Un ...

Solar Eclipse Of December 13, 1974
A partial solar eclipse occurred on December 13, 1974. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System. It is a nearly perfect ball of hot plasma, heated to incandescence by nuclear fusion reactions in its core. The Sun radiates this energy mainly as light, ultraviolet, and infrared radi ..., thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A partial solar eclipse occurs in the polar regions of the Earth when the center of the Moon's shadow misses the Earth.

April 1967 Lunar Eclipse
A total lunar eclipse took place on Monday, April 24, 1967, the first of two total lunar eclipses in 1967, the second being on October 18, 1967. This lunar eclipse is first of a ''tetrad'', four total lunar eclipses in series. The following tetrad is in 1985 and 1986, starting with a May 1985 lunar eclipse. The Surveyor 3 probe landed on the moon during this eclipse. More details about the Total Lunar Eclipse of 24 April 1967.

A total lunar eclipse took place on Saturday, May 4, 1985, the first of two total lunar eclipses in 1985, the second being on October 28, 1985. This lunar eclipse is first of a ''tetrad'', four total lunar eclipses in series. The last series was in 1967 and 1968, starting with an April 1967 lunar eclipse, while the next was in 2003 and 2004, starting with a May 2003 lunar eclipse. Visibility It is seen rising over the whole of Africa, Middle East, Europe and Asia. The eclipse was sighted over the Philippines at night. The second also followed on October 28, 1985.

July 1963 Lunar Eclipse
A partial lunar eclipse took place on Saturday, July 6, 1963 with an umbral eclipse magnitude of 0.70602. The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 3 hours exactly, with 71% of the Moon in darkness at maximum. A partial lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth moves between the Sun and Moon but the three celestial bodies do not form a straight line in space. When that happens, a small part of the Moon's surface is covered by the darkest, central part of the Earth's shadow, called the umbra. The rest of the Moon is covered by the outer part of the Earth's shadow called the penumbra. It was the second of three lunar eclipses in 1963, the first was a penumbral lunar eclipse on January 9, 1963 and the third and last was on December 30, 1963. Visibility The partial eclipse was visible in Southeastern Atlantic, Africa, Europe and western Asia, seen rising over South America, and setting over Asia and Australia.

November 1974 Lunar Eclipse
A total lunar eclipse took place on Friday, November 29, 1974, the second of two lunar eclipses in 1974. The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour, 15 minutes and 45 seconds, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 28.961% of its diameter inside the Earth's umbral shadow. The visual effect of this depends on the state of the Earth's atmosphere, but the Moon may have been stained a deep red colour. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours, 28 minutes and 58.7 seconds in total. The penumbral eclipse lasted for 5 hours, 33 minutes and 11.6 seconds. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours, 28 minutes and 58.7 seconds. The total eclipse lasted for 1 hour, 15 minutes and 45 seconds. Occurring only 3.6 days before perigee (Perigee on Tuesday, December 3, 1974), the Moon's apparent diameter was 1.4% larger than average. Visibility It was completely visible over Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, Pacific, western North America, seen rising over Europe and Africa and setting over the cen ...

Solar Eclipse Of June 20, 1974
A total solar eclipse occurred on June 20, 1974. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun's, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs in a narrow path across Earth's surface, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometres wide. The path of totality passed over the Indian Ocean, Amsterdam Island, and Western Australia. The partial eclipse was visible from Madagascar, Indonesia, Australia Australia, officially the Commonwealth of Australia, is a Sovereign state, sovereign country comprising the mainland of the Australia (continent), Australian continent, the island of Tasmania, and numerous List of islands of Australia, sma ..., and the southwestern coast of South Island, New Zealand.
