The first of two total lunar eclipses in 2007 was unique in that it was partly visible from every continent around the world. The eclipse occured at the descending node, 3.2 days before apogee and 1.9 days after the Moon occults Saturn (northern and eastern Europe). During the eclipse, the Moon was in southern Leo, about 13º east of the 1.3-magnitude star Regulus (alpha Leo). The Moon's orbital trajectory took it through the northern half of Earth's umbral shadow. Although the eclipse was not central, the total phase still lasted 73 minutes.
