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 ± 16m04s (with 95% confidence). This equates to an error in longitude of ± 4.02 degrees, or around ± 420 km (261 miles) at the latitude of greatest eclipse.

A penumbral eclipse of the Moon occurs on Monday 28 July, 2436 UT, with maximum eclipse at 13:11 UT. This very subtle penumbral eclipse will be essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it will last 2 hours and 51 minutes, just 37% of the Moon's disc will be in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).

The penumbral eclipse lasts for 2 hours and 51 minutes. Maximum eclipse is at 13:11:13 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.
