Time	Phase	Event	Direction	Altitude
8:03 am Sun, Dec 31		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-northwest.	301°	3.3°
8:28 am Sun, Dec 31		Maximum in 47°26'36.5"N, 100°28'16.8"W This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 47°26'36.5"N, 100°28'16.8"W. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 47°26'36.5"N, 100°28'16.8"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 Northwest for the best view of the eclipse.	305°	0.2°
8:32 am Sun, Dec 31	Setting	Moonset Setting	306°	-0.2°
9:07 am Sun, Dec 31	Not directly visible	Partial Eclipse begins Below horizon	312°	-5.3°
10:16 am Sun, Dec 31	Not directly visible	Total Eclipse begins Below horizon	325°	-12.7°
10:52 am Sun, Dec 31	Not directly visible	Maximum Eclipse Below horizon	333°	-15.7°
11:27 am Sun, Dec 31	Not directly visible	Total Eclipse ends Below horizon	341°	-18.0°
12:36 pm Sun, Dec 31	Not directly visible	Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon	356°	-20.2°
1:40 pm Sun, Dec 31	Not directly visible	Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon	11°	-19.6°

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

In the past, this day was cloudy 78% of the time (since 2000).
