6:15 pm Tue, Mar 3		Maximum in 31°10'51.4"N, 78°56'24.3"E This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 31°10'51.4"N, 78°56'24.3"E. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 31°10'51.4"N, 78°56'24.3"E 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 East for the best view of the eclipse.	83°	0.2°
6:47 pm Tue, Mar 3		Partial Eclipse ends Partial moon eclipse ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East.	87°	6.2°
7:53 pm Tue, Mar 3		Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends.	95°	19.7°

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