Time	Phase	Event	Direction	Altitude
6:07 am Wed, Jan 12		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°	2.2°
6:18 am Wed, Jan 12		Maximum in Saint François Island This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Saint François Island. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Saint François Island 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.	293°	0.2°
