The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looked like in Stanley. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times were local time (FKST) for Stanley.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4:32 am Mon, Nov 30 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point. |  306° | 1.0° | |
| 4:39 am Mon, Nov 30 | Maximum in Stanley This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Stanley. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Stanley 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 Northwest for the best view of the eclipse. | 305° | 0.2° | |
| 4:43 am Mon, Nov 30 | Setting | Moonset Setting, but the combination of a very low moon and the total eclipse phase makes the Moon so dim before it sets, that it might disappear from view some time before it sets. | 304° | -0.2° |
| 6:42 am Mon, Nov 30 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 282° | -17.3° |
| 8:53 am Mon, Nov 30 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 258° | -36.7° |
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.
Cloud Coverage (Nov 30)
In the past, this day was cloudy 78% of the time (since 2000).
