A total eclipse of the Moon occurs on Friday 28 August, 2770 UT, with maximum eclipse at 12:39 UT. The Moon will barely edge into total eclipse for 29 minutes and 36 seconds. With the Moon just 3% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, the Moon may be quite bright, but even so, this should be worth seeing. The partial eclipse will last for 3 hours and 30 minutes in total.

The penumbral eclipse lasts for 5 hours and 55 minutes. The partial eclipse lasts for 3 hours and 30 minutes. The total eclipse lasts for 29 minutes and 36 seconds. Maximum eclipse is at 12:39:32 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.
