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

Time	Phase	Event	Direction	Altitude
6:24 am Tue, Aug 17		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.	249°	3.1°
6:42 am Tue, Aug 17		Maximum in 39°57'18.0"N, 7°30'32.7"W This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 39°57'18.0"N, 7°30'32.7"W. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 39°57'18.0"N, 7°30'32.7"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.	252°	0.2°
6:45 am Tue, Aug 17	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°
8:13 am Tue, Aug 17	Not directly visible	Maximum Eclipse Below horizon	266°	-16.7°
10:03 am Tue, Aug 17	Not directly visible	Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon	285°	-36.5°

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