September 29, 2042 — Penumbral Lunar Eclipse — Paramaribo
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like in Paramaribo. Stages and Â鶹ӳ» of the eclipse are outlined below. All Â鶹ӳ» are local time (SRT) for Paramaribo.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5:45 am Mon, Sep 29 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  269° | 10.0° | |
| 6:26 am Mon, Sep 29 | Maximum in Paramaribo This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Paramaribo. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Paramaribo 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 for the best view of the eclipse. | 271° | 0.4° | |
| 6:30 am Mon, Sep 29 | 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. | 271° | -0.2° |
| 7:44 am Mon, Sep 29 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 273° | -18.6° |
| 9:43 am Mon, Sep 29 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 279° | -46.7° |
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 penumbral lunar eclipse, the Earth's main shadow does not cover the Moon. As the Earth's shadow (umbra) misses the Moon during a penumbral lunar eclipse, there are no other locations on Earth where the Moon appears 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.
