14 maart 2025 — Total Lunar Eclipse — Luanda
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looked like in Luanda. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times were local time (WAT) for Luanda.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 04:57 vr 14 mrt | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  276° | 17.0° | |
| 06:09 vr 14 mrt | Maximum in Luanda This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Luanda. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Luanda 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 for the best view of the eclipse. | 273° | 0.2° | |
| 06:09 vr 14 mrt | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. 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 for the best view of the eclipse. | 273° | 0.2° | |
| 06:11 vr 14 mrt | 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. | 273° | -0.2° |
| 07:26 vr 14 mrt | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse begins Below horizon | 270° | -18.6° |
| 07:58 vr 14 mrt | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 268° | -26.4° |

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 was not visible in Luanda, but it could be observed there as a penumbral lunar eclipse. 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.
