| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8:01 pm Sat, Oct 28 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon |  77° | -11.2° |
| 9:35 pm Sat, Oct 28 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse begins Below horizon | 56° | -5.2° |
| 10:14 pm Sat, Oct 28 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 47° | -2.3° |
| 10:52 pm Sat, Oct 28 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 38° | -0.6° |
| 11:03 pm Sat, Oct 28 | Rising | Moonrise Rising | 36° | -0.2° |
| 11:16 pm Sat, Oct 28 | Maximum in Troll Station This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Troll Station. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Troll Station 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 North-northeast for the best view of the eclipse. | 33° | 0.2° | |
| 12:26 am Sun, Oct 29 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to North-northeast. | 16° | 1.9° |
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.
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.
Cloud Coverage (Oct 28–29)
In the past, this day was cloudy 56% of the time (since 2000).
