2026年8月28日金曜日 — Partial Lunar Eclipse — Mamoudzou
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like in Mamoudzou. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times are local time (EAT) for Mamoudzou.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4時23分 8月28日 (金) | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  264° | 23.3° | |
| 5時33分 8月28日 (金) | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to West. | 261° | 6.8° | |
| 6時02分 8月28日 (金) | Maximum in Mamoudzou This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Mamoudzou. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Mamoudzou 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. | 260° | 0.4° | |
| 6時05分 8月28日 (金) | 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. | 260° | -0.2° |
| 7時12分 8月28日 (金) | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 256° | -16.4° |
| 8時51分 8月28日 (金) | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 247° | -38.7° |
| 10時01分 8月28日 (金) | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 236° | -53.3° |
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 partial lunar eclipse, the Earth's shadow covers only parts of the Moon, as seen from Mamoudzou. There are no other locations on Earth where the Moon appears completely covered during this event.
Cloud Coverage (8月28日 (金))
