2025年9月8日月曜日 — Total Lunar Eclipse — Fakaofo
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like in Fakaofo. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times are local time (TKT) for Fakaofo.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4時28分 9月8日 (月) | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  267° | 27.2° | |
| 5時27分 9月8日 (月) | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. | 265° | 13.1° | |
| 6時22分 9月8日 (月) | Maximum in Fakaofo This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Fakaofo. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Fakaofo 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. | 263° | 0.2° | |
| 6時25分 9月8日 (月) | 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. | 263° | -0.2° |
| 6時30分 9月8日 (月) | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse begins Below horizon | 263° | -1.3° |
| 7時11分 9月8日 (月) | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 261° | -11.9° |
| 7時52分 9月8日 (月) | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse ends Below horizon | 260° | -21.6° |
| 8時56分 9月8日 (月) | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 256° | -36.4° |
| 9時55分 9月8日 (月) | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 250° | -49.7° |
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 Fakaofo, 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.
