Penumbral lunar eclipse on February 20 2027 (Mexico)

Note: This image is here for illustrative purposes and does not represent the actual eclipse on this date.

According to international time UTC, a lunar eclipse will occur on February 20, 2027 which will be visible in some parts of the world. The following shows the cities in Mexico from which the eclipse could be visible (note that the following is a short list of some of the main cities, the eclipse may be visible from other cities not listed here). The date and local time of the event shown below.

Information about this eclipse

This image shows the global map with two regions: the shaded region where you can not see the lunar eclipse, and the blank region, where it can be seen. The image details the type of eclipse, the magnitude of the penumbra and umbra, Saros series to which this eclipse belongs, among other data. The date and time displayed in this image are international date and time, therefore, they might not apply to your country. However, to know the date and exact time of penumbral lunar eclipse in your country, you can see the table below. (Click on the image to enlarge it).

Eclipse schedule in Mexico

The following table shows the schedule and phases of the penumbral lunar eclipse of February 20, 2027 in Mexico. For each city we have assigned a time zone which is very precise and it takes into account Daylight Saving Time (if applicable).

Moon alt.: Excellent   Good   Low   Too low  

You can read the table above as follows: On February 20, 2027 in México City, America/Mexico_City (UTC -6), an penumbral lunar eclipse will start at 15:12, the maximum eclipse will occur at 17:13 when the Moon reaches an altitud of -20°; this event will come to an end at 19:13 and will have a penumbral magnitud of 0.927 (this is the fraction of the Moon obscured by the entrance to The Earth's penumbra) and an umbral magnitud of -0.057 (fraction of the Moon obscured by the umbra of The Earth).

We must take into account the altitude of the moon, for example, in México City, due to the low altitude of the Moon (-20 degrees) this lunar eclipse will not be very obvious.
