A total eclipse of the Moon occurs on Tuesday 2 November, 2590 UT, with maximum eclipse at 23:08 UT. The Moon will be plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 22 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which will see the Moon 38% 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 26 minutes in total.
The penumbral eclipse lasts for 5 hours and 19 minutes.
The partial eclipse lasts for 3 hours and 26 minutes.
The total eclipse lasts for 1 hour and 22 minutes.
Maximum eclipse is at 23:08:56 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.
