The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6:23 am Fri, Aug 28 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  263° | 21.1° | |
| 7:33 am Fri, Aug 28 | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to West. | 261° | 4.7° | |
| 7:48 am Fri, Aug 28 | Maximum in Île Glorieuse This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Île Glorieuse. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Île Glorieuse because the Moon is below the horizon at that time. Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point. | 260° | 1.3° | |
| 7:56 am Fri, Aug 28 | 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. | 260° | -0.2° |
| 9:12 am Fri, Aug 28 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 256° | -18.6° |
| 10:51 am Fri, Aug 28 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 247° | -41.0° |
| 12:01 pm Fri, Aug 28 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 235° | -55.6° |
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.
