Time	Phase	Event	Direction	Altitude
05:44 Tue, 3 Mar		Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point.	277°	1.5°
05:50 Tue, 3 Mar		Maximum in 7°13'20.4"S, 42°35'41.7"W This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 7°13'20.4"S, 42°35'41.7"W. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 7°13'20.4"S, 42°35'41.7"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 for the best view of the eclipse.	277°	0.2°

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