A partial lunar eclipse took place on Tuesday, August 5, 1952. The Earth's shadow on the Moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 53.2% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 27 minutes. The Moon's apparent diameter was larger and Supermoon because the eclipse occurred only 45 minutes before perigee.[1]
The partial eclipse was visible from Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia, seen rising over eastern South America and Atlantic, and setting over Pacific.
A lunar eclipse will be preceded and followed by solar eclipses by 9 years and 5.5 days (a half saros).[2] This lunar eclipse is related to two annular solar eclipses of Solar Saros 125.
