November 19, 2021 — Partial Lunar Eclipse — North Cape
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looked like in North Cape. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times were local time (CET) for North Cape.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7:02 am Fri, Nov 19 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to Northwest. |  305° | 7.5° | |
| 8:18 am Fri, Nov 19 | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to Northwest. | 322° | 3.5° | |
| 10:02 am Fri, Nov 19 | Maximum Eclipse Moon is closest to the center of the shadow. 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 North-northwest 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. | 345° | 0.5° | |
| 11:47 am Fri, Nov 19 | Partial Eclipse ends Partial 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 North for the best view of the eclipse. | 9° | 0.5° | |
| 1:03 pm Fri, Nov 19 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to North-northeast. | 27° | 2.3° |
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 North Cape. There were no other locations on Earth where the Moon appeared completely covered during this event. The Earth's shadow covered a large portion of the Moon, so this was still a nice sight.
Cloud Coverage (Nov 19)
In the past, this day was cloudy 89% of the time (since 2000).
