2028年12月31日日曜日 — Total Lunar Eclipse — Kinshasa
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like in Kinshasa. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times are local time (WAT) for Kinshasa.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15時03分 12月31日 (日) | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon |  62° | -41.5° |
| 16時07分 12月31日 (日) | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse begins Below horizon | 65° | -27.9° |

| 17時52分 12月31日 (日) | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 66° | -5.0° |
| 18時11分 12月31日 (日) | 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. | 66° | -0.2° |
| 18時13分 12月31日 (日) | Maximum in Kinshasa This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Kinshasa. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Kinshasa 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 East-northeast for the best view of the eclipse. | 66° | 0.3° | |
| 18時27分 12月31日 (日) | Total Eclipse ends Total moon eclipse ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East-northeast. | 66° | 3.1° | |
| 19時36分 12月31日 (日) | Partial Eclipse ends Partial moon eclipse ends. | 63° | 17.9° | |
| 20時40分 12月31日 (日) | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. | 59° | 31.5° |
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.
This total lunar eclipse is fully visible in Kinshasa. The total lunar eclipse is sometimes called a blood moon, as the Moon turns red.
