A partial lunar eclipse took place on Friday, April 23, 1948. A tiny bite out of the Moon may have been visible at maximum, though just exactly 2.3% of the Moon was shadowed in a partial eclipse which lasted for 34 minutes and 18 seconds. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse.
