July 6, 2028 — Partial Lunar Eclipse — ³¢²¹³¾²ú²¹°ùé²Ôé
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like in ³¢²¹³¾²ú²¹°ùé²Ôé. Stages and Â鶹ӳ» of the eclipse are outlined below. All Â鶹ӳ» are local time (WAT) for ³¢²¹³¾²ú²¹°ùé²Ôé.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4:44 pm Thu, Jul 6 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon |  115° | -22.2° |
| 6:09 pm Thu, Jul 6 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse begins Below horizon | 113° | -3.5° |
| 6:21 pm Thu, Jul 6 | 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. | 113° | -0.2° |
| 7:19 pm Thu, Jul 6 | Maximum Eclipse Moon is closest to the center of the shadow. | 113° | 12.1° | |
| 8:30 pm Thu, Jul 6 | Partial Eclipse ends Partial moon eclipse ends. | 116° | 27.6° | |
| 9:55 pm Thu, Jul 6 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. | 123° | 45.7° |
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.
During this partial lunar eclipse, the Earth's shadow covers only parts of the Moon, as seen from ³¢²¹³¾²ú²¹°ùé²Ôé. There are no other locations on Earth where the Moon appears completely covered during this event.
Cloud Coverage (Jul 6)
In the past, this day was cloudy 86% of the time (since 2000).
