The violet shading is where the Sun has set by the time of the event, so the reappearance happens in a darkening sky.

At the Moon's edge

Antares's path across the Moon from your location — north up, east to the left as in binoculars. Times here are computed in your browser from the same ephemeris as the table, to the same ±2 s. Drag the slider to move it along its track.

City by city

Times are for the Moon's mean limb; the real limb's mountains and valleys shift each contact by up to a couple of seconds. Disappears is the moment Antares is fully hidden (its disc takes from the earlier time to slide in); reappears is when the first sliver returns.

How to watch

Method & accuracy

Positions from the JPL DE431 ephemeris (Skyfield), ΔT = 69.1 s, the Moon as a sphere of mean radius 1737.4 km — contact times are therefore ±2 s or so against the true, mountainous limb, and the limit line is drawn from a 0.125° grid (≈10 km). Antares's own disc (0″ across) is included: partial contacts are the from/to times. The numbers behind this page: antares-2028-01-22.json. Generated 2026-09-11.
