2026年3月3日火曜日 — Total Lunar Eclipse — Halifax
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like in Halifax. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times are local time (AST) for Halifax.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4時44分 3月3日 (火) | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  257° | 21.1° | |
| 5時50分 3月3日 (火) | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. | 269° | 9.7° | |
| 6時46分 3月3日 (火) | Maximum in Halifax This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Halifax. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Halifax 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 for the best view of the eclipse. | 278° | 0.2° | |
| 6時49分 3月3日 (火) | 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. | 279° | -0.2° |
| 7時04分 3月3日 (火) | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse begins Below horizon | 281° | -2.9° |
| 7時33分 3月3日 (火) | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 286° | -8.4° |
| 8時02分 3月3日 (火) | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse ends Below horizon | 291° | -13.2° |
| 9時17分 3月3日 (火) | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 306° | -24.6° |
| 10時23分 3月3日 (火) | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 321° | -32.9° |
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 Halifax, 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.
