| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3:41 am Wed, Sep 18 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  236° | 16.0° | |
| 5:12 am Wed, Sep 18 | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to West-southwest. | 255° | 5.2° | |
| 5:44 am Wed, Sep 18 | Maximum Eclipse Moon is closest to the center of the shadow. 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° | 1.4° | |
| 5:58 am Wed, Sep 18 | Setting | Moonset Setting | 265° | -0.2° |
| 6:15 am Wed, Sep 18 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 268° | -2.2° |
| 7:47 am Wed, Sep 18 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 287° | -14.8° |
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.
