| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2:23 pm Fri, Aug 28 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon |  136° | -49.8° |
| 3:33 pm Fri, Aug 28 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse begins Below horizon | 121° | -37.7° |
| 5:12 pm Fri, Aug 28 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 107° | -17.6° |

| 6:36 pm Fri, Aug 28 | Maximum in 21°07'48.2"S, 175°11'47.9"W This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 21°07'48.2"S, 175°11'47.9"W. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 21°07'48.2"S, 175°11'47.9"W because the Moon is below the horizon at that time. Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point. | 98° | 1.1° | |
| 6:51 pm Fri, Aug 28 | Partial Eclipse ends Partial moon eclipse ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East. | 97° | 4.2° | |

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.
