January 29, 1907 — Partial Lunar Eclipse — Columbus
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looked like in Columbus. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times were local time (EST) for Columbus.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5:47 am Tue, Jan 29 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  276° | 21.1° | |
| 7:06 am Tue, Jan 29 | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to West-northwest. | 288° | 6.8° | |
| 7:46 am Tue, Jan 29 | Maximum in Columbus This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Columbus. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Columbus 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 West-northwest for the best view of the eclipse. | 294° | 0.2° | |
| 7:49 am Tue, Jan 29 | 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. | 294° | -0.2° |
| 8:37 am Tue, Jan 29 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 302° | -8.7° |
| 10:09 am Tue, Jan 29 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 319° | -21.6° |
| 11:28 am Tue, Jan 29 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 337° | -29.3° |
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 covered only parts of the Moon, as seen from Columbus. There were no other locations on Earth where the Moon appeared completely covered during this event.
Cloud Coverage (Jan 29)
In the past, this day was cloudy 87% of the time (since 2000).
