A total lunar eclipse took place on Wednesday, December 9, 1992, the second of two lunar eclipses in 1992, the first was a partial lunar eclipse on Monday, June 15.
Visibility
It is visibly seen throughout the world including Americas (North and South America), Europe, Africa, Asia and Western Australia (including western New Guinea). The lunar eclipse was witnessed in the Philippines on the midday hours of December 10, two years after the total lunar eclipse happened on February 9, 1990.
According to Fred Espenak, this was the darkest eclipse in a decade, caused by the June 15, 1991 eruptions of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines.[1]
