2026年3月3日火曜日 — Total Lunar Eclipse — Thimphu
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like in Thimphu. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times are local time (BTT) for Thimphu.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 14時44分 3月3日 (火) | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon |  53° | -39.4° |
| 15時50分 3月3日 (火) | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse begins Below horizon | 65° | -27.5° |
| 17時04分 3月3日 (火) | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse begins Below horizon | 76° | -12.6° |
| 17時33分 3月3日 (火) | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 79° | -6.5° |
| 18時00分 3月3日 (火) | 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. | 82° | -0.2° |
| 18時02分 3月3日 (火) | Total Eclipse ends Total moon eclipse ends. 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. Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see. | 83° | 0.1° | |
| 18時09分 3月3日 (火) | Maximum in Thimphu This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Thimphu. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Thimphu because the Moon is below the horizon at that time. Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point. | 83° | 1.4° | |
| 19時17分 3月3日 (火) | Partial Eclipse ends Partial moon eclipse ends. | 91° | 15.5° | |
| 20時23分 3月3日 (火) | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. | 100° | 29.5° |
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.
The total phase of this lunar eclipse is not visible in Thimphu, but it can be observed there as a partial lunar eclipse. The Earth's shadow covers a large portion of the Moon, so this is still a nice sight.
Cloud Coverage (3月3日 (火))
