      That sort of depends on your definition of a lunar eclipse! Partial eclipses (where the moon sort of covers a bit of the sun and it gets quite cold for a minute) happen fairly often – the last one was on 30th November 2020 and the next is 10th June 2021. If you’re quite far North, you might be treated to an eclipse in 2025. But the next time we get full totality won’t be until 2090 😮
