| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8:03 am Sun, Dec 31 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to Northwest. |  310° | 8.1° | |
| 9:07 am Sun, Dec 31 | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to Northwest. | 324° | 4.0° | |
| 10:16 am Sun, Dec 31 | 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. | 339° | 1.0° | |
| 10:52 am Sun, Dec 31 | 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 North-northwest 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. | 347° | 0.1° | |
| 11:09 am Sun, Dec 31 | 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. | 350° | -0.2° |
| 11:27 am Sun, Dec 31 | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse ends Below horizon | 354° | -0.4° |
| 12:36 pm Sun, Dec 31 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 10° | -0.3° |
| 12:41 pm Sun, Dec 31 | Rising | Moonrise Rising | 11° | -0.2° |
| 1:40 pm Sun, Dec 31 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point. | 24° | 1.2° |
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 is fully visible in Repulse Bay. The total lunar eclipse is sometimes called a blood moon, as the Moon turns red.
