May 12–13, 1911 — Penumbral Lunar Eclipse — Lima
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looked like in Lima. Stages and Â鶹ӳ» of the eclipse are outlined below. All Â鶹ӳ» were local time (PET) for Lima.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10:47 pm Fri, May 12 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  113° | 71.3° | |
| 12:56 am Sat, May 13 | Maximum Eclipse Moon is closest to the center of the shadow. | 239° | 75.1° | |

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 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 (May 12–13)
In the past, this day was cloudy 61% of the time (since 2000).
