| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12:07 pm Wed, Jan 12 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon |  354° | -2.8° |

| 2:46 pm Wed, Jan 12 | Maximum in Ust-Nera This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Ust-Nera. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Ust-Nera 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. | 29° | 0.2° | |
| 4:18 pm Wed, Jan 12 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to Northeast. | 49° | 5.6° |
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 49% of the time (since 2000).
