2027年2月21日日曜日 — Penumbral Lunar Eclipse — Perth
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like in Perth. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times are local time (AWST) for Perth.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5時12分 2月21日 (日) | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to West-northwest. |  288° | 8.4° | |
| 5時56分 2月21日 (日) | Maximum in Perth This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Perth. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Perth 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. | 282° | 0.2° | |
| 5時59分 2月21日 (日) | 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. | 282° | -0.2° |
| 7時12分 2月21日 (日) | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 272° | -15.5° |
| 9時13分 2月21日 (日) | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 255° | -39.5° |
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 penumbral lunar eclipse, the Earth's main shadow does not cover the Moon. As the Earth's shadow (umbra) misses the Moon during a penumbral lunar eclipse, there are no other locations on Earth where the Moon appears partially or totally eclipsed during this event. 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 (2月21日 (日))
