| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2:22 pm Sun, Apr 25 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon |  135° | -40.5° |
| 3:28 pm Sun, Apr 25 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse begins Below horizon | 122° | -29.3° |
| 4:40 pm Sun, Apr 25 | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse begins Below horizon | 112° | -15.1° |
| 5:13 pm Sun, Apr 25 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 108° | -8.4° |
| 5:46 pm Sun, Apr 25 | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse ends Below horizon | 105° | -0.7° |
| 5:49 pm Sun, Apr 25 | Rising | Moonrise Rising | 105° | -0.2° |
| 5:51 pm Sun, Apr 25 | Maximum in Gaborone This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Gaborone. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Gaborone because the Moon is below the horizon at that time. Since the Moon is near the horizon at this time, we recommend going to a high point or finding an unobstructed area with free sight to East-southeast for the best view of the eclipse. | 105° | 0.2° | |
| 6:59 pm Sun, Apr 25 | Partial Eclipse ends Partial moon eclipse ends. | 98° | 14.3° | |
| 8:04 pm Sun, Apr 25 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. | 92° | 28.7° |
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.
The total phase of this lunar eclipse is not visible in Gaborone, but it can be observed there as a partial lunar eclipse. The Earth's shadow covers a large portion of the Moon, so this is still a nice sight.
Cloud Coverage (Apr 25)
In the past, this day was cloudy 27% of the time (since 2000).
