A total lunar eclipse occurred at the Moon’s descending node of orbit on Saturday, December 10, 2011, [1] with an umbral magnitude of 1.1076. 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.
There will be 230 lunar eclipses in the 21st century (2001–2100): 87 penumbral, 58 partial and 85 total. [1]Eclipses are listed in sets by lunar years, repeating every 12 months for each node.

The Cold Moon, December's full moon, will reach peak illumination on Sunday, Dec. 15. This follows November's full moon, the Beaver Moon. December's full moon marks the final full moon of 2024.
The supermoon of 14 November 2016 was 356,511 km (221,526 mi) away [1] from the center of Earth. Supermoons occur 3–4 times per year. [2] As the Earth revolves around the Sun, approximate axial parallelism of the Moon's orbital plane (tilted five degrees to the Earth's orbital plane) results in the revolution of the lunar nodes relative to the Earth.
December’s full moon, dubbed the cold moon, will reach the crest of its full phase early Sunday. Here’s the best way to view the last full moon of 2024.
Find out when you'll see each month's full moon, multiple supermoons, total lunar eclipses, and partial solar eclipses in the Tennessee sky in 2025.
A lunisolar calendar was found at Warren Field in Scotland and has been dated to c. 8000 BC, during the Mesolithic period. [2] [3] Some scholars argue for lunar calendars still earlier—Rappenglück in the marks on a c. 17,000 year-old cave painting at Lascaux and Marshack in the marks on a c. 27,000 year-old bone baton—but their findings remain controversial.
