March 12, 1914 — Partial Lunar Eclipse — Gaborone
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looked like in Gaborone. Stages and Â鶹ӳ» of the eclipse are outlined below. All Â鶹ӳ» were local time (CAT) for Gaborone.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3:42 am Thu, Mar 12 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  293° | 32.4° | |
| 4:42 am Thu, Mar 12 | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. | 284° | 20.0° | |
| 6:12 am Thu, Mar 12 | Maximum Eclipse Moon is closest to the center of the shadow. Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point. Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see. | 274° | 0.9° | |
| 6:19 am Thu, Mar 12 | Setting | Moonset Setting | 273° | -0.2° |
| 7:43 am Thu, Mar 12 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 264° | -19.1° |
| 8:43 am Thu, Mar 12 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 257° | -31.9° |
How to use altitude & direction to find in the sky
The curvature of the shadow's path and the apparent rotation of the Moon's disk is due to the Earth's rotation.
During this partial lunar eclipse, the Earth's shadow covered only parts of the Moon, as seen from Gaborone. There were no other locations on Earth where the Moon appeared completely covered during this event. The Earth's shadow covered a large portion of the Moon, so this was still a nice sight.
Cloud Coverage (Mar 12)
In the past, this day was cloudy 43% of the time (since 2000).
