The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like in Ponferrada. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times are local time (CET) for Ponferrada.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10:12 pm Sat, Feb 20 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  111° | 34.9° | |
| 12:12 am Sun, Feb 21 | Maximum Eclipse Moon is closest to the center of the shadow. | 144° | 51.7° | |
| 2:13 am Sun, Feb 21 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. | 193° | 55.4° |
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.
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.
Cloud Coverage (Feb 20–21)
In the past, this day was cloudy 63% of the time (since 2000).
