Timezone / Date

You have not selected a timezone for eclipse timings, so all times are shown in UT (essentially GMT).

Accuracy

Due to the erratic rotation of the Earth, the time and location of the eclipse cannot be forecast perfectly. This eclipse's time is estimated to be accurate ± 4m43s (with 95% confidence). This equates to an error in longitude of ± 1.18 degrees, or around ± 123 km (76 miles) at the latitude of greatest eclipse.

A penumbral eclipse of the Moon occurred on 5 June, 0475 UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 09:53 UT. In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 1% of the Moon's disc for 30 minutes and 30 seconds, which was essentially impossible to see.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 30 minutes and 30 seconds. Maximum eclipse was at 09:53:42 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.
