2028年12月31日日曜日 — Total Lunar Eclipse — Vancouver
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like in Vancouver. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times are local time (PST) for Vancouver.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6時03分 12月31日 (日) | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  284° | 17.7° | |
| 7時07分 12月31日 (日) | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to West-northwest. | 295° | 8.3° | |
| 8時10分 12月31日 (日) | Maximum in Vancouver This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Vancouver. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Vancouver 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 Northwest for the best view of the eclipse. | 306° | 0.2° | |
| 8時14分 12月31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. | 307° | -0.2° |
| 8時16分 12月31日 (日) | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse begins Below horizon | 307° | -0.4° |
| 8時52分 12月31日 (日) | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 314° | -5.4° |
| 9時27分 12月31日 (日) | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse ends Below horizon | 321° | -9.2° |
| 10時36分 12月31日 (日) | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 335° | -14.9° |
| 11時40分 12月31日 (日) | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 349° | -18.0° |
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 Vancouver, 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 (12月31日 (日))
In the past, this day was cloudy 80% of the time (since 2000).
