The celestial event presents viewing limitations across Lithuania. While a substantial portion of the eclipse will be visible from the country, observers are advised to monitor local weather conditions to maximize viewing opportunities. If weather permits, the initial phases of the eclipse are expected to be observable.
For instance, in Vilnius, the Moon is projected to enter the shadow at 5:33 pm. At this time, the Moon will remain visible above the horizon, appearing potentially larger due to its proximity to the horizon, and visibility is expected to last until 6:18 pm. However, the peak moment of the eclipse will not be visible within Lithuania.
The maximum eclipse is scheduled for 7:12 pm, by which time the Moon will have already set below the horizon. The time the Moon disappears from the horizon varies geographically across Lithuania: in Vilnius, it is expected around 6:22 pm; in Kaunas, the time is approximately 6:27 pm; and along the coast, it is expected around 6:37 pm. For those wishing to observe the eclipsing Moon, the recommended viewing period is Friday morning, directing attention toward the west-southwest direction.
Observers should note these specific timings relative to the local horizon to best anticipate the changing visibility of the celestial event across Lithuania.
