August 7, 2036 — Total Lunar Eclipse — °±ô²¹¾±±èÄ—»å²¹
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like in °±ô²¹¾±±èÄ—»å²¹. Stages and Â鶹ӳ» of the eclipse are outlined below. All Â鶹ӳ» are local time (EEST) for °±ô²¹¾±±èÄ—»å²¹.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2:45 am Thu, Aug 7 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  197° | 15.6° | |
| 3:55 am Thu, Aug 7 | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. | 213° | 11.5° | |
| 5:03 am Thu, Aug 7 | Total Eclipse begins Total moon eclipse starts - completely red moon. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to Southwest. | 228° | 5.6° | |
| 5:51 am Thu, Aug 7 | 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. | 238° | 0.7° | |
| 6:00 am Thu, Aug 7 | 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. | 240° | -0.2° |
| 6:38 am Thu, Aug 7 | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse ends Below horizon | 248° | -5.5° |
| 7:46 am Thu, Aug 7 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 261° | -14.3° |
| 8:57 am Thu, Aug 7 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 275° | -23.7° |
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.
This total lunar eclipse is fully visible in °±ô²¹¾±±èÄ—»å²¹. The total lunar eclipse is someÂ鶹ӳ» called a blood moon, as the Moon turns red.
