| 5:47 pm Mon, May 16 | Maximum in Nadi This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Nadi. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Nadi 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-southeast for the best view of the eclipse. | 110° | 0.2° | |
| 5:55 pm Mon, May 16 | Partial Eclipse ends Partial moon eclipse ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East-southeast. | 109° | 1.8° | |
| 6:50 pm Mon, May 16 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. | 106° | 13.7° |
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.
The total phase of this lunar eclipse was not visible in Nadi, but it could be observed there as a partial lunar eclipse. The Earth's shadow covered only a small portion of the Moon.
