Eclipses in San Francisco 2027
Local circumstances of every solar and lunar eclipse of 2027 as seen from San Francisco: contact times in local time, the eclipsed luminary's altitude at each contact, obscuration, and the sutak window. Instants come from a high-accuracy astronomical search (Lahiri sidereal).
Observable from San Francisco = the eclipsed luminary is above your horizon during at least part of the umbral (partial or total) phase — the naked-eye eclipse. Altitudes are apparent (refraction-corrected) for the luminary's centre; a centre altitude of 0° still leaves the disc's upper limb roughly 0.8° up, so an eclipse grazing the horizon is genuinely visible.

Penumbral lunar eclipse — 20 Feb, 15:12
Penumbral onlySidereal position: 7°45′ Leo · Magha
Penumbral eclipse only — the Moon passes through Earth's outer shadow (upacchaya). The dimming is slight and usually imperceptible; there is no umbral phase and no sutak.

| Maximum | 20 Feb, 15:12 | -28.3° | penumbral |
| Penumbral ends | 20 Feb, 17:13 | -8.6° | penumbral |

How many eclipses are observable from San Francisco in 2027?
0 of the 5 eclipses peaking in 2027 can be observed from San Francisco — the rest stay below the horizon during their umbral phase.
What is the first eclipse observable from San Francisco in 2027?
