The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5:28 am Sun, Sep 7 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  245° | 25.1° | |
| 6:27 am Sun, Sep 7 | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. | 254° | 13.5° | |
| 7:30 am Sun, Sep 7 | Total Eclipse begins Total moon eclipse starts - completely red moon. Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point. Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see. | 262° | 0.8° | |
| 7:33 am Sun, Sep 7 | Maximum in 28°23'16.4"N, 178°18'06.9"W This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 28°23'16.4"N, 178°18'06.9"W. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 28°23'16.4"N, 178°18'06.9"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 for the best view of the eclipse. | 262° | 0.2° | |
| 7:36 am Sun, Sep 7 | 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. | 262° | -0.2° |
| 8:11 am Sun, Sep 7 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 267° | -8.3° |
| 8:52 am Sun, Sep 7 | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse ends Below horizon | 271° | -16.9° |
| 9:56 am Sun, Sep 7 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 280° | -30.1° |
| 10:55 am Sun, Sep 7 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 289° | -41.9° |
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 (Sep 7)
