June 26, 2029 — Total Lunar Eclipse — Istanbul
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like in Istanbul. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times are local time (EEST) for Istanbul.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3:34 am Tue, Jun 26 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  216° | 15.3° | |
| 4:32 am Tue, 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 Southwest. | 227° | 8.4° | |
| 5:31 am Tue, Jun 26 | Total Eclipse begins Total moon eclipse starts - completely red moon. 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. Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see. | 237° | 0.4° | |
| 5:32 am Tue, Jun 26 | Maximum in Istanbul This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Istanbul. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Istanbul 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. | 237° | 0.2° | |
| 5:35 am Tue, 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. | 238° | -0.2° |
| 6:22 am Tue, Jun 26 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 245° | -8.2° |
| 7:13 am Tue, Jun 26 | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse ends Below horizon | 252° | -16.7° |
| 8:11 am Tue, Jun 26 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 261° | -27.0° |
| 9:09 am Tue, Jun 26 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 269° | -37.3° |
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 Istanbul. The total lunar eclipse is sometimes called a blood moon, as the Moon turns red.
