There are two more lunar eclipses later this year, but both are penumbral. The April 25-26, 2013 eclipse will be the last time Earth’s dark umbral shadow touches the moon’s face until the total lunar eclipse of April 15, 2014.
We in the Americas will miss out on the April 25-26 lunar eclipse. Even so, everyone worldwide will get to see a full-looking moon shining near the golden planet Saturn – now nearly at its best for this year – from dusk until dawn. Great night for moon gazing, no matter where you are!
