2029年12月20日木曜日 — Total Lunar Eclipse — Cancún
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like in Cancún. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times are local time (EST) for Cancún.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 14時42分 12月20日 (木) | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon |  35° | -37.1° |
| 15時55分 12月20日 (木) | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse begins Below horizon | 49° | -26.1° |

| 17時42分 12月20日 (木) | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 62° | -6.2° |
| 18時08分 12月20日 (木) | 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. | 65° | -0.2° |
| 18時08分 12月20日 (木) | 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-northeast 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. | 65° | -0.2° | |
| 18時19分 12月20日 (木) | Maximum in Cancún This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Cancún. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Cancún because the Moon is below the horizon at that time. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East-northeast. | 66° | 1.8° | |
| 19時28分 12月20日 (木) | Partial Eclipse ends Partial moon eclipse ends. | 71° | 16.0° | |
| 20時41分 12月20日 (木) | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. | 75° | 31.7° |
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 Cancún, 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.
