Maximum eclipse occurs at 18:53:00 UTC.

Lunar eclipses are visible from the night side of Earth, where the Moon is above the horizon during eclipse phases.

The overall eclipse duration is about 4h 57m.

Cloud cover, local horizon obstructions, and Moon altitude can all affect what you see. Higher Moon altitude generally improves viewing conditions for lunar eclipses.

Eclipse classifications in astronomy are strict: a "total" lunar eclipse means Earth's umbral shadow fully covers the Moon, while "partial" means it doesn't. The same principle applies to solar eclipses where "partial" means the Moon doesn't completely cover the Sun — even at 99.9% coverage.

In a solar eclipse, the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, casting a small, fast-moving shadow on Earth's surface. Only people inside that narrow shadow see the eclipse, which is why solar eclipses have a "path of totality." In a lunar eclipse, Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting Earth's much larger shadow onto the Moon. Because the Moon is visible to everyone on the nightside of Earth at once, there's no moving shadow across the ground — everyone in the right hemisphere sees the same eclipse at the same time.

Unlike a solar eclipse, a lunar eclipse doesn't produce a shadow racing across Earth's surface. Instead, Earth's shadow falls on the Moon, and everyone on the nightside of Earth sees the same event simultaneously. The dashed line on the map shows where the Moon is directly overhead during the eclipse — locations along this line have the Moon highest in the sky, giving the best viewing conditions.

The penumbra is the outer, lighter part of a shadow where the light source is only partially blocked. During a penumbral lunar eclipse, the Moon passes through Earth's penumbra — the Sun is partially obscured by Earth, causing a subtle dimming of the Moon rather than the dramatic red coloring seen in a total lunar eclipse. Penumbral eclipses are often difficult to notice with the naked eye. The word comes from the Latin "paene" (almost) and "umbra" (shadow) — literally "almost shadow."

The umbra is the darkest, central part of a shadow where the light source is completely blocked. During a total lunar eclipse, the Moon passes fully into Earth's umbra, causing the dramatic blood-red coloring as the only light reaching the Moon is bent and filtered through Earth's atmosphere. During a solar eclipse, the Moon's umbra is the small, dark core of its shadow — the narrow path on Earth where the Sun is completely covered. The word comes from the Latin for "shadow."

Totality is the phase of an eclipse where the covering body completely blocks the light source. In a total solar eclipse, totality is the awe-inspiring window — typically 1–7 minutes — when the Moon fully covers the Sun, revealing the solar corona, making stars visible in daytime, and causing a 360° sunset along the horizon. In a total lunar eclipse, totality is when the Moon is fully inside Earth's umbra and turns red or orange. Only locations directly within the path of totality (solar) or on the nightside of Earth (lunar) experience this phase.

Eclipse magnitude measures how much of the eclipsed body's diameter is covered at maximum eclipse. A magnitude of 1.0 means the covering body exactly matches the eclipsed body's apparent size. For solar eclipses, a magnitude greater than 1.0 produces totality; less than 1.0 produces a partial or annular eclipse. For lunar eclipses, magnitude measures how deeply the Moon enters Earth's shadow — above 1.0 means the Moon is fully inside the umbra (total eclipse). Magnitude is a dimensionless ratio of diameters, not area, so it's different from obscuration.

Obscuration is the fraction of the Sun's (or Moon's) area that is covered at any given moment, expressed as a percentage. Unlike magnitude (which measures diameter), obscuration measures the actual covered area. At 50% obscuration, half of the Sun's disk is blocked by the Moon. At 100%, the Sun is completely covered — but this only happens during totality in a total solar eclipse. In the City Visibility table, obscuration shows the maximum coverage that location will experience.
