Maximum in Rothera Research StationThis is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Rothera Research Station. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Rothera Research Station because the Moon is below the horizon at that time. Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point.
The curvature of the shadow's path and the apparent rotation of the Moon's disk is due to the Earth's rotation.
The total phase of this lunar eclipse is not visible in Rothera Research Station, but it can be observed there as a penumbral lunar eclipse. A penumbral lunar eclipse can be a bit hard to see as the shadowed part is only a little bit fainter than the rest of the Moon.
