September 7, 2025 — Total Lunar Eclipse — Douglas
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looked like in Douglas. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times were local time (BST) for Douglas.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4:28 pm Sun, Sep 7 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon |  58° | -29.2° |
| 5:27 pm Sun, Sep 7 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse begins Below horizon | 71° | -21.4° |
| 6:30 pm Sun, Sep 7 | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse begins Below horizon | 84° | -12.4° |
| 7:11 pm Sun, Sep 7 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 92° | -6.5° |
| 7:51 pm Sun, Sep 7 | 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. | 100° | -0.2° |
| 7:52 pm Sun, Sep 7 | Total Eclipse ends Total moon eclipse ends. 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 for the best view of the eclipse. Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see. | 100° | -0.0° | |
| 7:54 pm Sun, Sep 7 | Maximum in Douglas This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Douglas. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Douglas 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 for the best view of the eclipse. | 100° | 0.2° | |
| 8:56 pm Sun, Sep 7 | Partial Eclipse ends Partial moon eclipse ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East-southeast. | 113° | 8.4° | |
| 9:55 pm Sun, Sep 7 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. | 125° | 15.9° |
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.
The total phase of this lunar eclipse was not visible in Douglas, but it could be observed there as a partial lunar eclipse. The Earth's shadow covered a large portion of the Moon, so this was still a nice sight.
