28 août 2026 — Partial Lunar Eclipse — Gliwice
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like in Gliwice. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times are local time (CEST) for Gliwice.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 03 h 23 ven 28 aoû | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. | 19.2° | ||
| 04 h 33 ven 28 aoû | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. | 11.1° | ||
| 05 h 55 ven 28 aoû | Maximum in Gliwice This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Gliwice. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Gliwice because the Moon is below the horizon at that time. Since the Moon is near the horizon at this time, we recommend going to a high point or finding an unobstructed area with free sight to West-southwest for the best view of the eclipse. | 0.2° | ||
| 05 h 58 ven 28 aoû | Setting | Moonset Setting, but the combination of a very low moon and the total eclipse phase makes the Moon so dim before it sets, that it might disappear from view some time before it sets. | -0.2° | |
| 06 h 12 ven 28 aoû | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | -2.0° | |
| 07 h 51 ven 28 aoû | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | -17.8° | |
| 09 h 01 ven 28 aoû | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | -28.0° |
How to use altitude & direction to find in the sky
The curvature of the shadow's path and the apparent rotation of the Moon's disk is due to the Earth's rotation.
During this partial lunar eclipse, the Earth's shadow covers only parts of the Moon, as seen from Gliwice. There are no other locations on Earth where the Moon appears completely covered during this event. The Earth's shadow covers a large portion of the Moon, so this is still a nice sight.
Cloud Coverage (28 aoû)
In the past, this day was cloudy 62% of the time (since 2000).
