A partial eclipse of the Moon occurred on Monday 30 August, 1784 UT (19 Aug, 1784 Old Style), with maximum eclipse at 14:45 UT. The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 2 hours and 41 minutes, with 66% of the Moon in darkness at maximum.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 4 hours and 47 minutes. The partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 41 minutes. Maximum eclipse was at 14:45:40 UT.

Interactive Map

This map shows the visibility of the eclipse at maximum eclipse, when it was visible within the bright area on the map. Note that the map is approximate, and if you were near the edge of the area of visibility, the moon was very close to the horizon and may not have been practically visible.

You can use the zoom controls to zoom in and out, and pan to see areas of interest. The green marker in the centre shows where the Moon will be directly overhead at maximum eclipse.

The interactive map is currently not available.
