eclipse">October 7, 1987</a>. This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 77.703% 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, 54 minutes and 12.8 seconds. The Moon was just 4.6 days before perigee (Perigee on Saturday, April 18, 1987), making it 0.5% larger than average.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Visibility">Visibility</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=April_1987_lunar_eclipse&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Visibility"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>It was completely visible over North America, South America, the Atlantic Ocean, Europe, Africa and west in Asia, seen rising over the Pacific Ocean and North America and setting over South Asia and the Indian Ocean. </p><p><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Lunar_eclipse_from_moon-1987Apr14.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/15/Lunar_eclipse_from_moon-1987Apr14.png/320px-Lunar_eclipse_from_moon-1987Apr14.png" decoding="async" width="320" height="307" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/15/Lunar_eclipse_from_moon-1987Apr14.png/480px-Lunar_eclipse_from_moon-1987Apr14.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/15/Lunar_eclipse_from_moon-1987Apr14.png/640px-Lunar_eclipse_from_moon-1987Apr14.png 2x" data-file-width="867" data-file-height="831" /></a></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Member">Member</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=April_1987_lunar_eclipse&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Member"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>This is the 22nd member of Lunar Saros 141.
