The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9:03 pm Sun, Dec 31 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon |  37° | -6.2° |
| 10:07 pm Sun, Dec 31 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse begins Below horizon | 23° | -2.2° |
| 11:16 pm Sun, Dec 31 | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse begins Below horizon | 8° | -0.4° |
| 11:42 pm Sun, Dec 31 | 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. | 2° | -0.2° |
| 11:52 pm Sun, Dec 31 | 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 North 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. | 0° | -0.2° | |
| 11:58 pm Sun, Dec 31 | Maximum in 66°29'52.6"S, 107°19'50.4"E This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 66°29'52.6"S, 107°19'50.4"E. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 66°29'52.6"S, 107°19'50.4"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 North for the best view of the eclipse. | 359° | -0.2° | |
| 12:14 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. | 355° | -0.2° |
| 12:27 am Mon, Jan 1 | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse ends Below horizon | 352° | -0.3° |
| 1:36 am Mon, Jan 1 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 337° | -1.6° |
| 2:40 am Mon, Jan 1 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 323° | -5.4° |
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.
Cloud Coverage (Dec 31–Jan 1)
In the past, this day was cloudy 84% of the time (since 2000).
