October 18, 2013 — Penumbral Lunar Eclipse — Galapagos Islands
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looked like in Galapagos Islands. Stages and Â鶹ӳ» of the eclipse are outlined below. All Â鶹ӳ» were local time (GALT) for Galapagos Islands.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3:50 pm Fri, Oct 18 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon |  78° | -27.4° |
| 5:43 pm Fri, Oct 18 | Rising | Moonrise Rising, but the combination of a very low moon and the total eclipse phase will make the moon so dim that it will be extremely difficult to view until moon gets higher in the sky or the total phase ends. | 79° | -0.2° |
| 5:50 pm Fri, Oct 18 | 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. | 78° | 1.2° | |
| 7:49 pm Fri, Oct 18 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. | 76° | 29.2° |
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 penumbral lunar eclipse, the Earth's main shadow did not cover the Moon. As the Earth's shadow (umbra) misses the Moon during a penumbral lunar eclipse, there were no other locations on Earth where the Moon appeared partially or totally eclipsed during this event. 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.
Cloud Coverage (Oct 18)
In the past, this day was cloudy 76% of the time (since 2000).
