Quick answers
What time is the lunar eclipse on January 12, 2028?
The Earth’s dark shadow is on the Moon from 03:43 UTC to 04:42 UTC, and deepest at 04:13 UTC. It happens at the same instant for everyone: only the clock on the wall differs.
Do I need anything to watch it?
No. A lunar eclipse is safe to watch with the naked eye, from anywhere the Moon is above the horizon. Binoculars show the colour better.
