Time Phase Event Direction Altitude

Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. Map direction West-northwest 287°

Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red.
Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point.

6:52 am Tue, Mar 3
Maximum in 30°42'00.6"S, 60°57'00.0"W This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 30°42'00.6"S, 60°57'00.0"W. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 30°42'00.6"S, 60°57'00.0"W 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.
Map direction West 278°

6:55 am Tue, Mar 3 Setting Moonset Setting, but the combination of a very low moon and the total eclipse phase makes the Moon so dim before it sets, that it might disappear from view some time before it sets. Map direction West 278°

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