November 8, 2022 — Total Lunar Eclipse — Huancayo
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looked like in Huancayo. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times were local time (PET) for Huancayo.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3:02 am Tue, Nov 8 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  298° | 31.4° | |
| 4:09 am Tue, Nov 8 | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. | 291° | 16.9° | |
| 5:16 am Tue, Nov 8 | Total Eclipse begins Total moon eclipse starts - completely red moon. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to West-northwest. Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see. | 287° | 2.0° | |
| 5:21 am Tue, Nov 8 | Maximum in Huancayo This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Huancayo. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Huancayo because the Moon is below the horizon at that time. Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point. | 287° | 1.0° | |
| 5:27 am Tue, Nov 8 | 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. | 287° | -0.2° |
| 5:59 am Tue, Nov 8 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 285° | -7.9° |
| 6:41 am Tue, Nov 8 | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse ends Below horizon | 284° | -17.6° |
| 7:49 am Tue, Nov 8 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 282° | -33.1° |
| 8:56 am Tue, Nov 8 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 282° | -48.4° |
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.
This total lunar eclipse was fully visible in Huancayo. The total lunar eclipse is sometimes called a blood moon, as the Moon turns red.
