A partial lunar eclipse took place on Saturday, August 26, 1961, the second of two partial lunar eclipses in 1961. This nearly total lunar eclipse of Saros cycle 137 preceded the first total eclipse on September 6, 1979.[1] It took place around lunar perigee, therefore as a result, the Moon appeared larger than usual. It was the largest partial lunar eclipse since October 28, 1939, making it the second largest partial lunar eclipse of the 20th century.
It is part of Saros series 137.
