September 1933 lunar eclipse

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A penumbral lunar eclipse took place on Monday, September 4, 1933. This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 70% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth (none of it was in total shadow), which caused a gentle shadow gradient across its disc at maximum; the eclipse as a whole lasted 3 hours and 41 minutes.
