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 Northwest. 		Map direction Northwest 304°
8.3°
9:07 am Sun, Dec 31
Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red.
Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to Northwest. 		Map direction Northwest 317°
2.9°
9:50 am Sun, Dec 31
Maximum in 62°14'38.7"N, 94°25'24.4"W This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 62°14'38.7"N, 94°25'24.4"W. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 62°14'38.7"N, 94°25'24.4"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 North-northwest for the best view of the eclipse. 		Map direction North-northwest 326°
0.2°
9:58 am Sun, Dec 31 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 North-northwest 328°
-0.2°
10:16 am Sun, Dec 31 Not directly visible Total Eclipse begins Below horizon Map direction North-northwest 331°
-1.0°
10:52 am Sun, Dec 31 Not directly visible Maximum Eclipse Below horizon Map direction North-northwest 339°
-3.3°
11:27 am Sun, Dec 31 Not directly visible Total Eclipse ends Below horizon Map direction North-northwest 347°
-4.7°
12:36 pm Sun, Dec 31 Not directly visible Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon Map direction North 2°

How to use altitude & direction to find in the sky

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

Cloud Coverage (Dec 31)
