The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Severo-Kurilsk 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 Northeast for the best view of the eclipse. | 54° | 0.3° | |
| 5:18 pm Wed, Jan 12 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East-northeast. | 58° | 3.0° |
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.
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.
Cloud Coverage (Jan 12)
In the past, this day was cloudy 90% of the time (since 2000).
