| 8:22 pm Mon, Jun 25 | 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 East-southeast 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. | 119° | 0.5° | |
