January 19, 1935 — Total 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7:41 am Sat, Jan 19 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point. |  296° | 1.4° | |
| 7:49 am Sat, Jan 19 | 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. | 297° | 0.2° | |
| 7:52 am Sat, Jan 19 | Setting | Moonset Setting | 297° | -0.2° |
| 8:53 am Sat, Jan 19 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse begins Below horizon | 307° | -10.5° |
| 10:04 am Sat, Jan 19 | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse begins Below horizon | 321° | -19.9° |
| 10:47 am Sat, Jan 19 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 330° | -24.5° |
| 11:30 am Sat, Jan 19 | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse ends Below horizon | 340° | -27.9° |
| 12:40 pm Sat, Jan 19 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 358° | -30.4° |
| 1:53 pm Sat, Jan 19 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 17° | -28.8° |
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.
The total phase of this lunar eclipse was not visible in Columbus, but it could be observed there as a penumbral lunar eclipse. 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 (Jan 19)
In the past, this day was cloudy 84% of the time (since 2000).
