Time	Phase	Event	Direction	Altitude
05:44 Tue, 3 Mar		Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face.	276°	11.6°
06:33 Tue, 3 Mar		Maximum in 1°27'22.9"N, 51°58'00.6"W This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 1°27'22.9"N, 51°58'00.6"W. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 1°27'22.9"N, 51°58'00.6"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.	276°	0.2°
