14 Mart 2025 — Total Lunar Eclipse — Bolton
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looked like in Bolton. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times were local time (GMT) for Bolton.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 03:57 14 Mar Cum | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  243° | 21.5° | |
| 05:09 14 Mar Cum | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. | 258° | 11.5° | |
| 06:20 14 Mar Cum | Maximum in Bolton This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Bolton. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Bolton because the Moon is below the horizon at that time. Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point. | 272° | 1.3° | |
| 06:26 14 Mar Cum | 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 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. | 273° | 0.6° | |
| 06:32 14 Mar Cum | 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. | 274° | -0.2° |
| 06:58 14 Mar Cum | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 279° | -4.6° |
| 07:31 14 Mar Cum | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse ends Below horizon | 286° | -9.3° |
| 08:47 14 Mar Cum | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 302° | -19.6° |
| 10:00 14 Mar Cum | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 318° | -27.8° |
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 Bolton, but it could be observed there as a partial lunar eclipse. The Earth's shadow covered a large portion of the Moon, so this was still a nice sight.
