A total eclipse of the Moon occurs on Monday 15 January, 2587 UT, with maximum eclipse at 20:00 UT. A shallow total eclipse will see the Moon in relative darkness for 49 minutes and 12 seconds. The Moon will be 10% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should be significantly darkened. The partial eclipse will last for 3 hours and 25 minutes in total.

The penumbral eclipse lasts for 5 hours and 38 minutes. The partial eclipse lasts for 3 hours and 25 minutes. The total eclipse lasts for 49 minutes and 12 seconds. Maximum eclipse is at 20:00:09 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.
