26 mai 2040 — Total Lunar Eclipse — Lincoln
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like in Lincoln. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times are local time (CDT) for Lincoln.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 04 h 04 sam 26 mai | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. | 16.1° | ||
| 04 h 59 sam 26 mai | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to Southwest. | 8.8° | ||
| 05 h 58 sam 26 mai | Maximum in Lincoln This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Lincoln. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Lincoln 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 59 sam 26 mai | Total Eclipse begins Total moon eclipse starts - completely red moon. 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. Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see. | 0.2° | ||
| 06 h 02 sam 26 mai | 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 45 sam 26 mai | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | -8.0° | |
| 07 h 31 sam 26 mai | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse ends Below horizon | -15.9° | |
| 08 h 30 sam 26 mai | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | -26.5° | |
| 09 h 25 sam 26 mai | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | -36.5° |
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.
The total phase of this lunar eclipse is not visible in Lincoln, but it can be observed there as a partial lunar eclipse. The Earth's shadow covers a large portion of the Moon, so this is still a nice sight.
