About the Event

Join the Davis Astronomy Club on the evening of Sunday, May 15, to view the total eclipse of the rising full moon. We will meet at 8pm in the grassy area in Mace Ranch Park between the baseball diamonds (behind Explorit Science Center) so we can have a clear view of the east/southeast horizon.  

For local observers, the rising full moon will already be partially eclipsed as the partial eclipse begins at 7:27pm and moonrise is at 8:05pm. The total eclipse begins at 8:29pm and ends at 9:53pm with maximum eclipse occurring at 9:11pm. During totality, the moon will appear a deep coppery red as it reflects the reddish part of sunlight that is refracted by the earth’s atmosphere. The full moon will be back to its normal view at 10:55pm with the end of the partial eclipse.
