Maximum in DarkhanThis is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Darkhan. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Darkhan 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 Southeast for the best view of the eclipse.

Penumbral Eclipse endsThe Earth's penumbra ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to Southeast.
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 Darkhan, but it could be observed there as a partial lunar eclipse. The Earth's shadow covered only a small portion of the Moon.
