November 30, 2020 — Penumbral Lunar Eclipse — Murmansk
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like in Murmansk. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times are local time (MSK) for Murmansk.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10:32 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. |  331° | 1.5° | |
| 11:43 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. | 347° | -0.2° |
| 12:42 pm Mon, Nov 30 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 1° | -0.5° |
| 1:19 pm Mon, Nov 30 | Rising | Moonrise Rising | 9° | -0.2° |
| 1:43 pm Mon, Nov 30 | Maximum in Murmansk This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Murmansk. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Murmansk 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 North-northeast for the best view of the eclipse. | 15° | 0.2° | |
| 2:53 pm Mon, Nov 30 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to North-northeast. | 30° | 2.4° |
How to use altitude & direction to find in the sky
During this penumbral lunar eclipse, the Earth's main shadow does not cover the Moon. As the Earth's shadow (umbra) misses the Moon during a penumbral lunar eclipse, there are no other locations on Earth where the Moon appears 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.
