6:17 am Fri, Aug 28
Maximum in 20°12'43.8"S, 57°47'28.8"E This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 20°12'43.8"S, 57°47'28.8"E. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 20°12'43.8"S, 57°47'28.8"E because the Moon is below the horizon at that time.
Since the Moon is near the horizon at this time, we recommend going to a high point or finding an unobstructed area with free sight to West for the best view of the eclipse.
