Time	Phase	Event	Direction	Altitude
9:32 pm Sun, May 15	Not directly visible	Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon	127°	-7.7°
10:27 pm Sun, May 15	Not directly visible	Partial Eclipse begins Below horizon	139°	-4.4°
11:29 pm Sun, May 15	Not directly visible	Total Eclipse begins Below horizon	153°	-1.0°
12:02 am Mon, May 16	Rising	Moonrise Rising, but the combination of a very low moon and the total eclipse phase will make the moon so dim that it will be extremely difficult to view until moon gets higher in the sky or the total phase ends.	161°	-0.2°
12:11 am Mon, May 16		Maximum Eclipse Moon is closest to the center of the shadow. 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 South-southeast for the best view of the eclipse. Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see.	163°	-0.1°
12:27 am Mon, May 16		Maximum in Igloolik This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Igloolik. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Igloolik 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 South-southeast for the best view of the eclipse.	166°	0.2°
12:53 am Mon, May 16		Total Eclipse ends Total moon eclipse ends. 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 South for the best view of the eclipse. Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see.	172°	0.5°
1:55 am Mon, May 16		Partial Eclipse ends Partial moon eclipse ends. 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 South for the best view of the eclipse.	186°	0.3°

2:50 am Mon, May 16	Not directly visible	Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon	199°	-0.7°

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.

This total lunar eclipse was fully visible in Igloolik. The total lunar eclipse is sometimes called a blood moon, as the Moon turns red.
