The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below.

Time	Phase	Event	Direction	Altitude
4:44 am Tue, Mar 3		Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to West-northwest.	293°	2.0°
5:06 am Tue, Mar 3		Maximum in 65°06'13.9"S, 62°00'48.7"W This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 65°06'13.9"S, 62°00'48.7"W. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 65°06'13.9"S, 62°00'48.7"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-northwest for the best view of the eclipse.	288°	0.2°
5:12 am Tue, Mar 3	Setting	Moonset Setting	287°	-0.2°
5:50 am Tue, Mar 3	Not directly visible	Partial Eclipse begins Below horizon	278°	-4.4°
7:04 am Tue, Mar 3	Not directly visible	Total Eclipse begins Below horizon	262°	-11.7°
7:33 am Tue, Mar 3	Not directly visible	Maximum Eclipse Below horizon	255°	-14.5°
8:02 am Tue, Mar 3	Not directly visible	Total Eclipse ends Below horizon	248°	-17.2°
9:17 am Tue, Mar 3	Not directly visible	Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon	231°	-23.4°
10:23 am Tue, Mar 3	Not directly visible	Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon	214°	-27.7°

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