Time Phase Event Direction Altitude
5:12 am Sun, Feb 21
Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. Map direction West 272°
11.7°
6:20 am Sun, Feb 21
Maximum in 43°40'39.2"N, 126°10'26.5"E This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 43°40'39.2"N, 126°10'26.5"E. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 43°40'39.2"N, 126°10'26.5"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 West-northwest for the best view of the eclipse.
Map direction West-northwest 283°

6:23 am Sun, Feb 21 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. Map direction West-northwest 283°
-0.2°

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