Maximum in PolotskThis is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Polotsk. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Polotsk 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 Southeast for the best view of the eclipse.

Penumbral Eclipse endsThe Earth's penumbra ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to South-southeast.
The curvature of the shadow's path and the apparent rotation of the Moon's disk is due to the Earth's rotation.
During this partial lunar eclipse, the Earth's shadow covers only parts of the Moon, as seen from Polotsk. There are no other locations on Earth where the Moon appears completely covered during this event.
