The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3:03 am Mon, Jan 1 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  331° | 21.5° | |
| 4:07 am Mon, Jan 1 | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. | 318° | 14.6° | |
| 5:16 am Mon, Jan 1 | Total Eclipse begins Total moon eclipse starts - completely red moon. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to Northwest. | 306° | 5.2° | |
| 5:52 am Mon, Jan 1 | Maximum Eclipse Moon is closest to the center of the shadow. 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. Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see. | 300° | 0.0° | |
| 5:53 am Mon, Jan 1 | 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. | 300° | -0.2° |
| 6:27 am Mon, Jan 1 | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse ends Below horizon | 295° | -6.4° |
| 7:36 am Mon, Jan 1 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 286° | -18.4° |
| 8:40 am Mon, Jan 1 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 277° | -30.0° |
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.
