14 March 2025 — Total Lunar Eclipse — London
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looked like in London. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times were local time (GMT) for London.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 03:57 Fri, 14 Mar | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. | 21.3° | ||
| 05:09 Fri, 14 Mar | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. | 10.6° | ||
| 06:19 Fri, 14 Mar | Maximum in London This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in London. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in London 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. | 0.2° | ||
| 06:22 Fri, 14 Mar | 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° | |
| 06:26 Fri, 14 Mar | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse begins Below horizon | -0.6° | |
| 06:58 Fri, 14 Mar | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | -6.3° | |

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 London, 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.
