In recent times, total lunar eclipses have been rolling like a conveyor belt. So today, on April 4, 2015, we are waiting for the third consecutive total lunar eclipse, and the cycle that began on April 15, 2014 and continued on October 8, will conclude with an eclipse on September 28, 2015.

Everything will start much earlier. The Earth will cast the first patch of shadow on the Moon already at 11:15:45, and the Moon will completely leave the Earth's shadow at 14:44:46.
