February 20, 2027 — Penumbral Lunar Eclipse — Viedma
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like in Viedma. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times are local time (ART) for Viedma.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6:12 pm Sat, Feb 20 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon |  93° | -20.4° |
| 7:58 pm Sat, Feb 20 | Rising | Moonrise Rising, but the combination of a very low moon and the total eclipse phase will make the moon so dim that it will be extremely difficult to view until moon gets higher in the sky or the total phase ends. | 76° | -0.2° |
| 8:12 pm Sat, Feb 20 | Maximum Eclipse Moon is closest to the center of the shadow. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East-northeast. Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see. | 74° | 2.0° | |
| 10:13 pm Sat, Feb 20 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. | 53° | 22.0° |
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 penumbral lunar eclipse, the Earth's main shadow does not cover the Moon. As the Earth's shadow (umbra) misses the Moon during a penumbral lunar eclipse, there are no other locations on Earth where the Moon appears partially or totally eclipsed during this event. A penumbral lunar eclipse can be a bit hard to see as the shadowed part is only a little bit fainter than the rest of the Moon.
Cloud Coverage (Feb 20)
In the past, this day was cloudy 45% of the time (since 2000).
