| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3:03 pm Sun, Dec 31 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon |  27° | -27.9° |

| 6:17 pm Sun, Dec 31 | Rising | Moonrise Rising, but the combination of a very low moon and the total eclipse phase will make the moon so dim that it will be extremely difficult to view until moon gets higher in the sky or the total phase ends. | 61° | -0.2° |
| 6:27 pm Sun, Dec 31 | Maximum in Fes This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Fes. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Fes because the Moon is below the horizon at that time. Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point. | 62° | 1.3° | |
| 6:27 pm Sun, Dec 31 | Total Eclipse ends Total moon eclipse ends. 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. | 62° | 1.3° | |

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.
