The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2:01 pm Sat, Oct 28 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon |  17° | -7.2° |
| 3:35 pm Sat, Oct 28 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse begins Below horizon | 39° | -2.2° |
| 4:10 pm Sat, Oct 28 | Rising | Moonrise Rising, but the combination of a very low moon and the total eclipse phase will make the moon so dim that it will be extremely difficult to view until moon gets higher in the sky or the total phase ends. | 46° | -0.2° |
| 4:14 pm Sat, Oct 28 | Maximum Eclipse Moon is closest to the center of the shadow. 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 Northeast 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. | 47° | -0.0° | |
| 4:18 pm Sat, Oct 28 | Maximum in 69°21'02.9"N, 78°15'33.7"W This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 69°21'02.9"N, 78°15'33.7"W. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 69°21'02.9"N, 78°15'33.7"W 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 Northeast for the best view of the eclipse. | 48° | 0.2° | |
| 4:52 pm Sat, Oct 28 | Partial Eclipse ends Partial moon eclipse ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East-northeast. | 56° | 2.4° | |
| 6:26 pm Sat, Oct 28 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. | 77° | 9.9° |
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 (Oct 28)
In the past, this day was cloudy 85% of the time (since 2000).
