6:28 pm Tue, Aug 17		Maximum in Nullarbor National Park This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Nullarbor National Park. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Nullarbor National Park 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 East-southeast for the best view of the eclipse.	103°	0.2°
6:33 pm Tue, Aug 17		Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point.	103°	1.0°

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