Maximum in Mario Zucchelli Station
This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Mario Zucchelli Station.

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.
During this partial lunar eclipse, the Earth's shadow covers only parts of the Moon, as seen from Mario Zucchelli Station. There are no other locations on Earth where the Moon appears completely covered during this event.
