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 ± 27m26s (with 95% confidence). This equates to an error in longitude of ± 6 degrees, or around ± 740 km (460 miles) at the latitude of greatest eclipse.

A partial eclipse of the Moon occurs on Friday 3 November, 2609 UT, with maximum eclipse at 23:36 UT. At maximum eclipse, a small bite out of the Moon should be visible. The eclipse will last for 1 hour and 32 minutes, with just 19% of the Moon in shadow at maximum.

The penumbral eclipse lasts for 4 hours and 17 minutes. The partial eclipse lasts for 1 hour and 32 minutes. Maximum eclipse is at 23:36:49 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.
