If you have the ability to get on Yahoo and ask this question, surely you can get on a search engine and get this information.
I just searched Lunar Statistics on altavista. Everything you need to know is there.
See http://starryskies.com/The_sky/events/lunar-2003/eclipse8.html
More information than you can shake a stick at.
