January 11, 2028 — Partial Lunar Eclipse — Honolulu

| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4:07 pm Tue, Jan 11 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon |  52° | -22.8° |
| 5:45 pm Tue, Jan 11 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse begins Below horizon | 63° | -4.5° |
| 6:03 pm Tue, Jan 11 | Rising | Moonrise Rising, but the combination of a very low moon and the total eclipse phase will make the moon so dim that it will be extremely difficult to view until moon gets higher in the sky or the total phase ends. | 65° | -0.2° |
| 6:13 pm Tue, Jan 11 | Maximum Eclipse Moon is closest to the center of the shadow. Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point. Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see. | 66° | 1.5° | |
| 6:41 pm Tue, Jan 11 | Partial Eclipse ends Partial moon eclipse ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East-northeast. | 68° | 7.0° | |

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.
During this partial lunar eclipse, the Earth's shadow covers only parts of the Moon, as seen from Honolulu. There are no other locations on Earth where the Moon appears completely covered during this event. The Earth's shadow covers only a small portion of the Moon.
