A penumbral lunar eclipse will take place on October 28, 2042, according to some sources. This will be 0.4 days after the Moon reached perigee (making it a supermoon). This event marks the beginning of lunar saros cycle 156 according to some sources, and will be visually imperceptible and other sources have this as a miss.[1]
According to some sources, it will be the last of 5 Metonic cycle eclipses occurring every 19 years on October 28, while the other sources calculate the Moon will miss the shadow.

Metonic series
This eclipse (depending on definitions) is the last of four Metonic cycle lunar eclipses on the same date, October 28–29, each separated by 19 years:
The metonic cycle repeats nearly exactly every 19 years and represents a Saros cycle plus one lunar year. Because it occurs on the same calendar date, the earth's shadow will in nearly the same location relative to the background stars.
