Maximum in Kuh-i-Malik Siah This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Kuh-i-Malik Siah. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Kuh-i-Malik Siah 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.
