| 5:19 pm Fri, Nov 19 | Maximum in Zhengzhou This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Zhengzhou. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Zhengzhou 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 East-northeast for the best view of the eclipse. | 66° | 0.2° | |

| 8:03 pm Fri, Nov 19 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. | 87° | 31.9° |
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.
During this partial lunar eclipse, the Earth's shadow covers only parts of the Moon, as seen from Zhengzhou. There are no other locations on Earth where the Moon appears completely covered during this event. The Earth's shadow covers a large portion of the Moon, so this is still a nice sight.
Cloud Coverage (Nov 19)
In the past, this day was cloudy 84% of the time (since 2000).
