July 20, 2111 — Partial Lunar Eclipse — Columbus
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like in Columbus. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times are local time (EDT) for Columbus.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6:38 pm Mon, Jul 20 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon |  97° | -23.7° |
| 7:50 pm Mon, Jul 20 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse begins Below horizon | 107° | -10.9° |
| 8:49 pm Mon, Jul 20 | 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. | 116° | -0.2° |
| 8:51 pm Mon, Jul 20 | Maximum Eclipse Moon is closest to the center of the shadow. 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 East-southeast for the best view of the eclipse. Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see. | 116° | 0.1° | |
| 9:53 pm Mon, Jul 20 | Partial Eclipse ends Partial moon eclipse ends. | 126° | 9.3° | |
| 11:04 pm Mon, Jul 20 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. | 140° | 19.0° |
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 Columbus. There are no other locations on Earth where the Moon appears completely covered during this event.
Cloud Coverage (Jul 20)
In the past, this day was cloudy 67% of the time (since 2000).
