The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like in 45°05'06"N, 33°35'46"E. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times are local time (MSK) for 45°05'06"N, 33°35'46"E.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5:03 pm Sun, Dec 31 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. 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 East-northeast for the best view of the eclipse. |  56° | 0.3° | |
| 6:07 pm Sun, Dec 31 | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. | 66° | 9.3° | |
| 7:16 pm Sun, Dec 31 | Total Eclipse begins Total moon eclipse starts - completely red moon. | 77° | 20.3° | |
| 7:52 pm Sun, Dec 31 | Maximum Eclipse Moon is closest to the center of the shadow. | 83° | 26.3° | |
| 8:27 pm Sun, Dec 31 | Total Eclipse ends Total moon eclipse ends. | 89° | 32.3° | |
| 9:36 pm Sun, Dec 31 | Partial Eclipse ends Partial moon eclipse ends. | 102° | 44.0° | |
| 10:40 pm Sun, Dec 31 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. | 117° | 54.2° |
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.
Cloud Coverage (Dec 31)
In the past, this day was cloudy 85% of the time (since 2000).
