Time	Phase	Event	Direction	Altitude
03:44 Tue, 3 Mar		Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face.	247°	35.1°
04:50 Tue, 3 Mar		Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red.	259°	22.9°
06:04 Tue, 3 Mar		Total Eclipse begins Total moon eclipse starts - completely red moon. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to West.	270°	8.7°
06:33 Tue, 3 Mar		Maximum Eclipse Moon is closest to the center of the shadow. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to West.	275°	3.2°
06:53 Tue, 3 Mar	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.	277°	-0.2°
07:02 Tue, 3 Mar	Not directly visible	Total Eclipse ends Below horizon	279°	-1.6°
08:17 Tue, 3 Mar	Not directly visible	Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon	290°	-16.3°
09:23 Tue, 3 Mar	Not directly visible	Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon	302°	-27.5°

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