Partial Lunar Eclipse of November 29, 2077 from Cameroon (Yaoundé)
This page provides detailed information about the lunar eclipse of November 29, 2077 as seen from Cameroon (Yaoundé).
This will be a partial eclipse, meaning
the Moon only partially enters the
Earth's umbra (the darkest part of its shadow).
The duration of the partial eclipse will be
From Cameroon (Yaoundé), the entire lunar eclipse will be visible from start to finish. In the local timezone, the greatest eclipse will happen on
Eclipse Visibility Map
The interactive map below illustrates the visibility of the eclipse across the globe. The terminator lines for each contact phase are represented in different colors, and different shadings indicate the regions where the Moon is above the horizon during each phase of the eclipse. For greater control and clarity, you can selectively show or hide each phase by using the colored selectors placed below the map. You can also click each contact point to access the specific details.
Diagram of the Eclipse
The diagram below shows the path of the Moon through Earth's shadow. The red circle is the Earth's umbra, and the lighter outer circle is the penumbra. Each contact point is indicated with a label (see legend), you can click on each contact point or image to visualize the details about it. A green circle around the Moon indicates that the contact is visible from Cameroon (Yaoundé) while a red circle indicates that it is not visible.
Legend: Eclipse Contacts
- P1
- First penumbral contact — Marks the beginning of the penumbral eclipse and of the eclipse as a whole.
- U1
- First umbral contact — Marks the beginning of the partial eclipse.
- GE
- Greatest eclipse — Marks the instant when the Moon's position is closest to the axis of the Earth shadow.
- U4
- Fourth umbral contact — Marks end of the partial lunar eclipse.
- P4
- Last penumbral contact — Marks the end of the penumbral eclipse and of the eclipse as a whole.
Interactive Eclipse Animation
The interactive animation below shows the progression of the lunar eclipse as the Moon passes through Earth's shadow. You can use the controls to play, pause, and explore the event's timeline. The view's orientation is based on the selected location: celestial north is up for the Northern Hemisphere, and celestial south is up for the Southern Hemisphere.

Eclipse Timetable
This section provides the detailed timeline of the partial lunar eclipse of November 29, 2077 as observed from Cameroon (Yaoundé). For each eclipse phase, this table provides the local time of the event and its visibility, based on the computed altitude of the Moon. A positive altitude means the Moon is above the horizon and the corresponding event is visible. When the Moon's altitude is below 0° the event is not visible. For each eclipse phase, a link to visualize an interactive star map showing the position of the Moon in the sky is also provided.

Summary of This Eclipse's Characteristics
Terminology
- Umbra. Portion of space within the shadow cone projected by the Earth where the Sun is completely eclipsed by the Earth's disc. Objects that transit through the Earth's umbra would observe the Sun being completely eclipsed by the Earth.
- Penumbra. Portion of space within the shadow cone projected by the Earth where the disc of the Sun is not fully covered by the Earth's disc. Objects that transit through the Earth's penumbra would observe the Sun being partially eclipsed by the Earth.
- Umbral Magnitude. For a partial lunar eclipse, the fraction of the Moon's diameter that is covered by the Earth's umbra, expressed as a number between 0 and one. For a total lunar eclipse, it is expressed as a number greater than 1, computed as the ratio of the distance between the edge of the Earth's shadow and the part of the Moon's limb that is deepest into the shadow, and the Moon's diameter. These values are computed at the time of the greatest eclipse.
- Penumbral Magnitude. The fraction of the Moon's diameter that is covered by the Earth's penumbra. This number is less than 1 for partial penumbral eclipses. When the Moon fully enters the penumbra, the penumbral magnitude is a number greater than 1, computed similarly to the umbral magnitude, indicating how deep the Moon is entering the Earth's penumbra.
- Terminator. Line on the Earth's surface that separates areas where a certain celestial body or phenomena is visible from areas where it is not. The line that divides the day from the night is a common example of a terminator. In the case of a lunar eclipse, the terminator lines are used to visualize areas where the different contacts are visible.
