Total eclipse of the Moon 2014 October 8/9 This eclipse of the moon is even better placed for viewing from New Zealand than the April eclipse. The moon starts to move into the Earths penumbral (partial) shadow at 9:15 pm NZDT (8:15 UT), about 2 hours after the moon rises. As a result all stages of the eclipse are visible from New Zealand. The total phase of the eclipse is just under an hour long, from 10:25 UT to 11:24 UT (11:25 pm to 12:24 am NZDT).
