|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6:12 pm Sat, Feb 20 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon |  79° | -3.5° |
| 6:25 pm Sat, Feb 20 | Rising | Moonrise Rising, but the combination of a very low moon and the total eclipse phase will make the moon so dim that it will be extremely difficult to view until moon gets higher in the sky or the total phase ends. | 78° | -0.2° |
| 8:12 pm Sat, Feb 20 | Maximum Eclipse Moon is closest to the center of the shadow. | 67° | 22.3° | |
| 10:13 pm Sat, Feb 20 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. | 45° | 45.3° |
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.
