2026年8月28日金曜日 — Partial Lunar Eclipse — Kigali
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like in Kigali. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times are local time (CAT) for Kigali.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3時23分 8月28日 (金) | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  258° | 36.8° | |
| 4時33分 8月28日 (金) | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. | 260° | 20.0° | |
| 5時58分 8月28日 (金) | Maximum in Kigali This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Kigali. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Kigali 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° | 0.2° | |
| 6時00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° |
| 6時12分 8月28日 (金) | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 260° | -3.5° |
| 7時51分 8月28日 (金) | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 259° | -27.3° |
| 9時01分 8月28日 (金) | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 256° | -43.8° |
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 Kigali. There are no other locations on Earth where the Moon appears completely covered during this event. The Earth's shadow covers a large portion of the Moon, so this is still a nice sight.
Cloud Coverage (8月28日 (金))
In the past, this day was cloudy 47% of the time (since 2000).
