September 14, 1932 — 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 (EDT) for Columbus.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2:07 pm Wed, Sep 14 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon |  18° | -52.8° |
| 3:18 pm Wed, Sep 14 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse begins Below horizon | 42° | -45.7° |
| 5:00 pm Wed, Sep 14 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 66° | -30.0° |
| 6:42 pm Wed, Sep 14 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 84° | -11.5° |
| 7:38 pm Wed, Sep 14 | Rising | Moonrise Rising | 92° | -0.2° |
| 7:41 pm Wed, Sep 14 | 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 East for the best view of the eclipse. | 93° | 0.2° | |
| 7:54 pm Wed, Sep 14 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East. | 95° | 2.3° |
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.
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 (Sep 14)
In the past, this day was cloudy 56% of the time (since 2000).
