Lunar eclipses from Korea: dates and conditions
Distinguish global eclipse dates from local visibility in Korea.
Check the Korean calendar date
Korea is UTC+9, so an eclipse may fall on the next local day. NASA’s decade table uses dynamical time (TD), not UTC; do not treat it as an exact local contact time. The list below cross-checks events against Seoul’s local charts.
21 February 2027: early penumbral stages
For Seoul, the penumbral stage begins at 06:12 KST and the Moon sets around 07:12. The global maximum at 08:12 is below Seoul’s horizon. A clear western skyline is essential; faint shading and dawn make detection difficult. Other cities have different moonset times.
7 July 2028: partial lunar eclipse
The global 6 July event falls in the early hours of 7 July in Korea. For Seoul, the partial stage runs 02:09–04:30 KST, with maximum at 03:19. It is partial, not total. Check night access, local lunar altitude and moonset, and the detailed chart.
1 January 2029: total lunar eclipse
For Seoul, the penumbral stage begins at 23:03 KST on 31 December 2028, followed by totality at 01:16–02:27 on 1 January 2029, maximum 01:52. Totality does not guarantee a particular red shade. Use a tripod, spare batteries and cold-weather preparation; exposure differs from ordinary full-Moon photography.
