June 5, 2020 — Penumbral Lunar Eclipse — San Martín Base
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looked like in San Martín Base. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times were local time (ART) for San Martín Base.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2:45 pm Fri, Jun 5 | 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 South-southeast for the best view of the eclipse. |  161° | 0.2° | |
| 4:24 pm Fri, Jun 5 | Maximum Eclipse Moon is closest to the center of the shadow. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to Southeast. | 139° | 4.4° | |

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 did not cover the Moon. As the Earth's shadow (umbra) misses the Moon during a penumbral lunar eclipse, there were no other locations on Earth where the Moon appeared 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.
