Quick answers
What time is the lunar eclipse on July 6, 2028?
The Earth’s dark shadow is on the Moon from 17:08 UTC to 19:30 UTC, and deepest at 18:19 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.
