A partial lunar eclipse took place on Tuesday, June 3, 1947. A tiny bite out of the Moon may have been visible at maximum, though just 2.02% of the Moon was shadowed in a partial eclipse which lasted for 34 minutes and 42 seconds. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse.
