2028年1月12日水曜日 — Partial Lunar Eclipse — Makkah
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like in Makkah. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times are local time (AST) for Makkah.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5時07分 1月12日 (水) | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  286° | 24.3° | |
| 6時45分 1月12日 (水) | 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. | 292° | 3.8° | |
| 7時03分 1月12日 (水) | Maximum in Makkah This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Makkah. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Makkah 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-northwest for the best view of the eclipse. | 294° | 0.4° | |
| 7時06分 1月12日 (水) | 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. | 294° | -0.2° |
| 7時13分 1月12日 (水) | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 294° | -1.3° |
| 7時41分 1月12日 (水) | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 297° | -7.7° |
| 9時18分 1月12日 (水) | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 309° | -26.0° |
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.
During this partial lunar eclipse, the Earth's shadow covers only parts of the Moon, as seen from Makkah. There are no other locations on Earth where the Moon appears completely covered during this event. The Earth's shadow covers only a small portion of the Moon.
Cloud Coverage (1月12日 (水))
