| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12:44 pm Thu, Jul 6 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon |  151° | -54.1° |
| 2:09 pm Thu, Jul 6 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse begins Below horizon | 131° | -41.5° |
| 3:19 pm Thu, Jul 6 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 121° | -28.0° |
| 4:30 pm Thu, Jul 6 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 116° | -13.3° |
| 5:28 pm Thu, Jul 6 | Rising | Moonrise Rising | 113° | -0.2° |
| 5:30 pm Thu, Jul 6 | Maximum in 8°19'49.2"S, 37°59'35.3"W This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 8°19'49.2"S, 37°59'35.3"W. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 8°19'49.2"S, 37°59'35.3"W 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 East-southeast for the best view of the eclipse. | 113° | 0.2° | |
| 5:55 pm Thu, Jul 6 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East-southeast. | 112° | 5.3° |
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.
