A penumbral lunar eclipse will occur on November 8, 2060.[2] It will be too small to be visually perceptible.
Visibility
In the unlikely assumption that it is perceptible, it would be visible over North America and South America, and will be seen rising over Africa and Europe.[citation needed]

Metonic series
This eclipse is the fifth and final of five Metonic cycle lunar eclipses on the same date, November 8–9, each separated by 19 years: The Metonic cycle repeats nearly exactly every 19 years and represents a Saros cycle plus one lunar year. Because it occurs on the same calendar date, the Earth's shadow will be in nearly the same location relative to the background stars.
