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

Time	Phase	Event	Direction	Altitude
05:24 Tue, 17 Aug		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-southwest.	256°	8.6°
06:01 Tue, 17 Aug		Maximum in Ekalesuazo This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Ekalesuazo. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Ekalesuazo 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-southwest for the best view of the eclipse.	257°	0.2°
06:03 Tue, 17 Aug	Setting	Moonset Setting, but the combination of a very low moon and the total eclipse phase makes the Moon so dim before it sets, that it might disappear from view some time before it sets.	257°	-0.2°
07:13 Tue, 17 Aug	Not directly visible	Maximum Eclipse Below horizon	258°	-17.3°
09:03 Tue, 17 Aug	Not directly visible	Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon	258°	-43.1°

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

We are streaming the partial solar eclipse on Sep 21/22 LIVE!

In the past, this day was cloudy 94% of the time (since 2000).
