Time	Phase	Event	Direction	Altitude
06:24 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.	248°	4.9°
06:53 Tue, 17 Aug		Maximum in 38°42'33.6"N, 9°29'26.7"W This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 38°42'33.6"N, 9°29'26.7"W. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 38°42'33.6"N, 9°29'26.7"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-southwest for the best view of the eclipse.	253°	0.2°
06:55 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.	253°	-0.2°
08:13 Tue, 17 Aug	Not directly visible	Maximum Eclipse Below horizon	265°	-15.1°
10:03 Tue, 17 Aug	Not directly visible	Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon	283°	-35.3°

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