Time Phase Event Direction Altitude
06:03 zo 31 dec
Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. Map direction West-northwest 289°
13.4°
07:07 zo 31 dec
Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red.
Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to West-northwest. 		Map direction West-northwest 297°

Maximum in Livermore This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Livermore. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Livermore 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-northwest for the best view of the eclipse. 		Map direction West-northwest 299°
0.2°
07:24 zo 31 dec 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 West-northwest 300°

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.

The total phase of this lunar eclipse is not visible in Livermore, but it can be observed there as a partial lunar eclipse.
