Maximum in Cuenca This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Cuenca. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Cuenca 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 East-northeast for the best view of the eclipse.

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 Cuenca, but it can be observed there as a partial lunar eclipse. The Earth's shadow covers a large portion of the Moon, so this is still a nice sight.
