Time	Phase	Event	Direction	Altitude
7:02 am Tue, Nov 8		Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face.	288°	9.8°
8:09 am Tue, Nov 8		Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to West-northwest.	303°	5.3°
9:16 am Tue, Nov 8		Total Eclipse begins Total moon eclipse starts - completely red moon. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to Northwest. Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see.	318°	1.6°
9:51 am Tue, Nov 8		Maximum in Ittoqqortoormiit This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Ittoqqortoormiit. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Ittoqqortoormiit 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 North-northwest for the best view of the eclipse.	326°	0.2°
9:59 am Tue, Nov 8		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.	328°	-0.1°
10:03 am Tue, Nov 8	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.	329°	-0.2°
10:41 am Tue, Nov 8	Not directly visible	Total Eclipse ends Below horizon	338°	-1.2°
11:49 am Tue, Nov 8	Not directly visible	Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon	353°	-2.3°
12:56 pm Tue, Nov 8	Not directly visible	Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon	9°	-1.8°

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.
