17:51 Fri, 28 Aug	Rising	Moonrise Rising	101°	-0.2°
17:51 Fri, 28 Aug		Partial Eclipse ends Partial moon eclipse ends. 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 for the best view of the eclipse.	101°	-0.1°
17:54 Fri, 28 Aug		Maximum in 38°40'04.1"S, 176°02'35.1"E This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 38°40'04.1"S, 176°02'35.1"E. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 38°40'04.1"S, 176°02'35.1"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 for the best view of the eclipse.	100°	0.3°
19:01 Fri, 28 Aug		Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends.	90°	12.4°

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