Maximum in Saint-Paul
This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Saint-Paul. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Saint-Paul 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 for the best view of the eclipse. |

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.
A penumbral lunar eclipse can be a bit hard to see as the shadowed part is only a little bit fainter than the rest of the Moon.
