Eclipse Calculator – Eclipses in Mata-Utu, Wallis and Futuna
Eclipse visible in Mata-Utu – Oct 28, 1939 Partial Lunar Eclipse
The animation shows approximately what the eclipse looks like from the night side of earth.
This is an approximate representation. The eclipse and moon will look slightly different in real life.
During this partial lunar eclipse, the Earth's shadow covers only parts of the Moon, as seen from Mata-Utu. As the central part of the Earth's shadow (umbra) misses the Moon during a partial lunar eclipse, there are no other locations on Earth where the Moon appears completely covered during this event.
The Earth's shadow covers a large portion of the Moon, so this is still a nice sight.

Click on the Sun/Moon symbol in the “Looks like” column to see what the eclipse looks like during the different phases of the event.
This eclipse is in progress during moonrise or moonset, so only parts of the eclipse are visible in Mata-Utu.
The animation's bottom edge represents an ideal, flat horizon, which is at the same altitude as the observer.Times are local for Mata-Utu (WFT - Wallis and Futuna Time).
