5:37 am Wed, Jan 12
Maximum in 14°58'56.8"S, 30°12'53.3"E This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 14°58'56.8"S, 30°12'53.3"E. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 14°58'56.8"S, 30°12'53.3"E 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 West-northwest for the best view of the eclipse.

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