The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2:23 pm Thu, Aug 27 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon |  129° | -47.6° |
| 3:33 pm Thu, Aug 27 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse begins Below horizon | 116° | -34.4° |
| 5:12 pm Thu, Aug 27 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 104° | -13.4° |
| 6:09 pm Thu, Aug 27 | Rising | Moonrise Rising | 99° | -0.2° |
| 6:11 pm Thu, Aug 27 | Maximum in 19°02'56.1"S, 169°52'09.6"W This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 19°02'56.1"S, 169°52'09.6"W. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 19°02'56.1"S, 169°52'09.6"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 East for the best view of the eclipse. | 99° | 0.3° | |
| 6:51 pm Thu, Aug 27 | Partial Eclipse ends Partial moon eclipse ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East. | 96° | 8.9° | |
| 8:01 pm Thu, Aug 27 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. | 90° | 24.8° |
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.
