October 28, 2023 — Partial Lunar Eclipse — Arctic Bay
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looked like in Arctic Bay. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times were local time (EDT) for Arctic Bay.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2:01 pm Sat, Oct 28 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon |  10° | -4.1° |
| 3:35 pm Sat, Oct 28 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse begins Below horizon | 32° | -0.6° |
| 3:46 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. | 35° | -0.2° |
| 4:14 pm Sat, Oct 28 | Maximum Eclipse Moon is closest to the center of the shadow. Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point. Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see. | 41° | 0.9° | |
| 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 Northeast. | 50° | 2.8° | |
| 6:26 pm Sat, Oct 28 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East-northeast. | 71° | 8.8° |
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 covered only parts of the Moon, as seen from Arctic Bay. There were no other locations on Earth where the Moon appeared completely covered during this event. The Earth's shadow covered only a small portion of the Moon.
Cloud Coverage (Oct 28)
In the past, this day was cloudy 87% of the time (since 2000).
