The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9:03 pm Sun, Dec 31 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon |  40° | -7.0° |
| 10:07 pm Sun, Dec 31 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse begins Below horizon | 27° | -3.0° |
| 11:16 pm Sun, Dec 31 | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse begins Below horizon | 12° | -0.4° |
| 11:29 pm Sun, Dec 31 | Rising | Moonrise Rising, but the combination of a very low moon and the total eclipse phase will make the moon so dim that it will be extremely difficult to view until moon gets higher in the sky or the total phase ends. | 9° | -0.2° |
| 11:52 pm Sun, Dec 31 | 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 North 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. | 4° | 0.0° | |
| 12:27 am Mon, Jan 1 | Total Eclipse ends Total moon eclipse ends. 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 North 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. | 356° | 0.1° | |
| 1:02 am Mon, Jan 1 | Setting | Moonset Setting | 348° | -0.2° |
| 1:36 am Mon, Jan 1 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 341° | -0.9° |
| 2:40 am Mon, Jan 1 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 327° | -4.2° |
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 (Dec 31–Jan 1)
