The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looked like in Cherbourg-Octeville. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times were local time (CET) for Cherbourg-Octeville.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7:02 am Fri, Nov 19 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  285° | 10.9° | |
| 8:18 am Fri, Nov 19 | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. 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 West-northwest for the best view of the eclipse. | 298° | 0.4° | |
| 8:20 am Fri, Nov 19 | Maximum in Cherbourg-Octeville This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Cherbourg-Octeville. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Cherbourg-Octeville 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 West-northwest for the best view of the eclipse. | 299° | 0.2° | |
| 8:23 am Fri, Nov 19 | 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. | 299° | -0.2° |
| 10:02 am Fri, Nov 19 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 319° | -12.5° |
| 11:47 am Fri, Nov 19 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 342° | -20.1° |
| 1:03 pm Fri, Nov 19 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 1° | -21.6° |
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 Cherbourg-Octeville. 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 (Nov 19)
In the past, this day was cloudy 80% of the time (since 2000).
