Time	Phase	Event	Direction	Altitude
2:54 pm Tue, Aug 17	Not directly visible	Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon	129°	-42.2°
4:43 pm Tue, Aug 17	Not directly visible	Maximum Eclipse Below horizon	112°	-21.1°
6:18 pm Tue, Aug 17	Rising	Moonrise Rising	102°	-0.2°
6:20 pm Tue, Aug 17		Maximum in 20°13'32.5"S, 134°47'12.2"E This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 20°13'32.5"S, 134°47'12.2"E. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 20°13'32.5"S, 134°47'12.2"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 East-southeast for the best view of the eclipse.	102°	0.2°
6:33 pm Tue, Aug 17		Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East-southeast.	101°	2.8°

The curvature of the shadow's path and the apparent rotation of the Moon's disk is due to the Earth's rotation.

In the past, this day was cloudy 10% of the time (since 2000).
