The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4:32 am Mon, Nov 30 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  309° | 24.2° | |
| 6:40 am Mon, Nov 30 | Maximum in 24°36'53.4"S, 68°30'10.1"W This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 24°36'53.4"S, 68°30'10.1"W. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 24°36'53.4"S, 68°30'10.1"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 West-northwest for the best view of the eclipse. | 293° | 0.2° | |
| 6:42 am Mon, Nov 30 | Maximum Eclipse Moon is closest to the center of the shadow. 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. Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see. | 293° | -0.1° | |
| 6:43 am Mon, Nov 30 | Setting | Moonset Setting | 292° | -0.2° |
| 8:53 am Mon, Nov 30 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 281° | -28.1° |
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.
Cloud Coverage (Nov 30)
