8:13 pm Fri, Mar 14 Rising Moonrise Rising, but the combination of a very low moon and the total eclipse phase will make the moon so dim that it will be extremely difficult to view until moon gets higher in the sky or the total phase ends. Map direction East 86°

8:16 pm Fri, Mar 14
Maximum in 45°10'33.0"S, 166°56'40.3"E This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 45°10'33.0"S, 166°56'40.3"E. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 45°10'33.0"S, 166°56'40.3"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.
