2021年11月19日金曜日 — Partial Lunar Eclipse — Taipei
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looked like in Taipei. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times were local time (CST) for Taipei.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 14時02分 11月19日 (金) | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon |  42° | -34.1° |
| 15時18分 11月19日 (金) | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse begins Below horizon | 56° | -21.2° |
| 17時02分 11月19日 (金) | 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. | 68° | -0.2° |
| 17時02分 11月19日 (金) | Maximum Eclipse Moon is closest to the center of the shadow. 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. | 68° | -0.2° | |
| 17時05分 11月19日 (金) | Maximum in Taipei This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Taipei. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Taipei 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 East-northeast for the best view of the eclipse. | 69° | 0.2° | |
| 18時47分 11月19日 (金) | Partial Eclipse ends Partial moon eclipse ends. | 78° | 21.3° | |
| 20時03分 11月19日 (金) | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. | 84° | 38.1° |
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 covered only parts of the Moon, as seen from Taipei. There were no other locations on Earth where the Moon appeared completely covered during this event. The Earth's shadow covered a large portion of the Moon, so this was still a nice sight.
Cloud Coverage (11月19日 (金))
In the past, this day was cloudy 85% of the time (since 2000).
