• ... that the penumbral lunar eclipse scheduled to occur on 18 August 2016 was cancelled? Source: "When the eclipse predictions are repeated using Danjon’s method, no lunar eclipses are found on these dates." (Espenak and Meeus 2009 p. 10), and/or Sutherland 2016.
  • ALT1:... that the penumbral lunar eclipse originally scheduled to occur on 18 August 2016 did not happen? Less poetic than the first hook, but probably also less hooky.

5x expanded by Squeamish Ossifrage (talk). Self-nominated at 14:09, 17 January 2019 (UTC).

• Y Nominated just in time (expansion started 10 January, including FOARP's edits), expansion including FOARP's edits is increased the article from 390 characters to 2772 characters. Article is within policy, including being notable enough, per the consensus at AfD
• Y ALT0 isn't correct, as the eclipse wasn't cancelled, it was just wrong predictions. But ALT1 is correct, short enough, interesting and well-cited
• Y QPQ done
• Overall this nomination passes, congratulations. Joseph2302 (talk) 20:09, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
