May 24, 1910 — Total Lunar Eclipse — Kinshasa
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looked like in Kinshasa. Stages and Â鶹ӳ» of the eclipse are outlined below. All Â鶹ӳ» were local time (WAT) for Kinshasa.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3:33 am Tue, May 24 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  248° | 32.4° | |
| 4:46 am Tue, May 24 | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. | 249° | 15.9° | |
| 5:55 am Tue, May 24 | Maximum in Kinshasa This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Kinshasa. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Kinshasa 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 West-southwest for the best view of the eclipse. | 249° | 0.6° | |
| 5:59 am Tue, May 24 | Setting | Moonset Setting, but the combination of a very low moon and the total eclipse phase makes the Moon so dim before it sets, that it might disappear from view some time before it sets. | 249° | -0.2° |
| 6:09 am Tue, May 24 | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse begins Below horizon | 248° | -2.0° |
| 6:34 am Tue, May 24 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 248° | -8.5° |
| 6:58 am Tue, May 24 | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse ends Below horizon | 247° | -14.0° |
| 8:21 am Tue, May 24 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 241° | -31.9° |
| 9:34 am Tue, May 24 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 232° | -46.5° |
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 was not visible in Kinshasa, but it could be observed there as a partial lunar eclipse. The Earth's shadow covered a large portion of the Moon, so this was still a nice sight.
Cloud Coverage (May 24)
In the past, this day was cloudy 84% of the time (since 2000).
