June 26, 2010 — Partial Lunar Eclipse — Kingston
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looked like in Kingston. Stages and Â鶹ӳ» of the eclipse are outlined below. All Â鶹ӳ» were local time (EST) for Kingston.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3:57 am Sat, Jun 26 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  235° | 18.5° | |
| 5:17 am Sat, Jun 26 | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to West-southwest. | 243° | 3.0° | |
| 5:31 am Sat, Jun 26 | Maximum in Kingston This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Kingston. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Kingston 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. | 244° | 0.3° | |
| 5:34 am Sat, Jun 26 | 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. | 244° | -0.2° |
| 6:38 am Sat, Jun 26 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 248° | -14.3° |
| 7:59 am Sat, Jun 26 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 252° | -31.8° |
| 9:19 am Sat, Jun 26 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 254° | -49.1° |
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 covered only parts of the Moon, as seen from Kingston. There were no other locations on Earth where the Moon appeared completely covered during this event. The Earth's shadow covered only a small portion of the Moon.
