A total eclipse of the Moon occurs on Tuesday 19 April, 2535 UT, with maximum eclipse at 08:06 UT. The Moon will be plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 26 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which will see the Moon 41% of its diameter inside the Earth's umbral shadow. The visual effect of this depends on the state of the Earth's atmosphere, but the Moon may be stained a deep red colour. The partial eclipse will last for 3 hours and 30 minutes in total.

The penumbral eclipse lasts for 5 hours and 25 minutes. The partial eclipse lasts for 3 hours and 30 minutes. The total eclipse lasts for 1 hour and 26 minutes. Maximum eclipse is at 08:06:08 UT.

Interactive Map

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