Total lunar eclipse 9 January 1982 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A total lunar eclipse took place on Saturday, 9 January and Sunday, 10 January 1982, the first of three lunar eclipses in 1982. The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 17 minutes 39.5 seconds, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 33.103% of its diameter inside the Earth's umbral shadow. The visual effect of this depends on the state of the Earth's atmosphere, but the Moon may have been stained a deep red colour. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 24 minutes in total.[1]
