January 11–12, 2028 — Partial Lunar Eclipse — Marambio Base
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like in Marambio Base. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times are local time (ART) for Marambio Base.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11:07 pm Tue, Jan 11 | 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 North-northeast for the best view of the eclipse. |  23° | 0.0° | |
| 12:45 am Wed, Jan 12 | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to North. | 2° | 2.2° | |
| 1:13 am Wed, Jan 12 | Maximum Eclipse Moon is closest to the center of the shadow. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to North. Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see. | 355° | 2.3° | |
| 1:41 am Wed, Jan 12 | Partial Eclipse ends Partial moon eclipse ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to North. | 349° | 2.0° | |

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 partial lunar eclipse, the Earth's shadow covers only parts of the Moon, as seen from Marambio Base. There are no other locations on Earth where the Moon appears completely covered during this event. The Earth's shadow covers only a small portion of the Moon.
Cloud Coverage (Jan 11–12)
In the past, this day was cloudy 87% of the time (since 2000).
