| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4時07分 1月12日 (水) | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  313° | 15.3° | |
| 5時44分 1月12日 (水) | Maximum in Cape Town This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Cape Town. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Cape Town 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. | 298° | 0.2° | |
| 5時45分 1月12日 (水) | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. 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. | 298° | 0.2° | |
| 5時47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. | 297° | -0.2° |
| 6時13分 1月12日 (水) | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 294° | -5.3° |
| 6時41分 1月12日 (水) | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 291° | -10.4° |
| 8時18分 1月12日 (水) | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 279° | -28.8° |
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.
A penumbral lunar eclipse can be a bit hard to see as the shadowed part is only a little bit fainter than the rest of the Moon.
Cloud Coverage (1月12日 (水))
