6:31 pm Sun, Apr 25 | | Maximum in ³Û²¹´Ç³Ü²Ô»åé This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in ³Û²¹´Ç³Ü²Ô»åé. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in ³Û²¹´Ç³Ü²Ô»åé because the Moon is below the horizon at that time. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East-southeast. | 104° | 2.0° |
7:04 pm Sun, Apr 25 | | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. | 105° | 9.7° |
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 ³Û²¹´Ç³Ü²Ô»åé, but it can be observed there as a penumbral lunar eclipse. A penumbral lunar eclipse can be a bit hard to see as the shadowed part is only a little bit fainter than the rest of the Moon.
