Time	Phase	Event	Direction	Altitude
3:23 am Fri, Aug 28		Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face.	269°	33.2°
4:33 am Fri, Aug 28		Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red.	265°	16.8°
5:37 am Fri, Aug 28		Maximum in 17°07'43.4"S, 35°17'18.4"E This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 17°07'43.4"S, 35°17'18.4"E. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 17°07'43.4"S, 35°17'18.4"E because the Moon is below the horizon at that time. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to West.	261°	2.4°
5:49 am Fri, Aug 28	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.	260°	-0.2°
6:12 am Fri, Aug 28	Not directly visible	Maximum Eclipse Below horizon	258°	-6.1°
7:51 am Fri, Aug 28	Not directly visible	Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon	249°	-28.3°
9:01 am Fri, Aug 28	Not directly visible	Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon	240°	-43.0°

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 32% of the time (since 2000).
