14 March 2025 — Total Lunar Eclipse — Khartoum
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like in Khartoum. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times are local time (CAT) for Khartoum.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 05:57 Fri, 14 Mar | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. 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° | -0.1° | |
| 05:57 Fri, 14 Mar | Maximum in Khartoum This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Khartoum. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Khartoum 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° | -0.1° | |

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 Khartoum, but it can 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.
