The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below.

Time	Phase	Event	Direction	Altitude
3:47 am Wed, May 26		Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face.	253°	34.4°
4:45 am Wed, May 26		Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red.	252°	21.4°
6:11 am Wed, May 26		Total Eclipse begins Total moon eclipse starts - completely red moon. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to West-southwest. Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see.	249°	2.4°
6:18 am Wed, May 26		Maximum Eclipse Moon is closest to the center of the shadow. 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.	249°	0.9°
6:25 am Wed, May 26	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.	248°	-0.2°
6:25 am Wed, May 26	Not directly visible	Total Eclipse ends Below horizon	248°	-0.4°
7:52 am Wed, May 26	Not directly visible	Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon	243°	-19.5°
8:49 am Wed, May 26	Not directly visible	Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon	237°	-31.1°

The curvature of the shadow's path and the apparent rotation of the Moon's disk is due to the Earth's rotation.

In the past, this day was cloudy 88% of the time (since 2000).
