March 1933 lunar eclipse

A penumbral lunar eclipse took place on Sunday, March 12, 1933. This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 26 minutes, just 59% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).

This is the 19th member of Lunar Saros 141. The next event is the March 1951 lunar eclipse.
