The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2:53 pm Mon, Mar 25 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon |  99° | -46.2° |
| 5:12 pm Mon, Mar 25 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 93° | -12.9° |
| 6:03 pm Mon, Mar 25 | Rising | Moonrise Rising | 91° | -0.2° |
| 6:05 pm Mon, Mar 25 | Maximum in 8°39'20.6"S, 151°19'17.2"E This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 8°39'20.6"S, 151°19'17.2"E. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 8°39'20.6"S, 151°19'17.2"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 East for the best view of the eclipse. | 91° | 0.2° | |
| 7:32 pm Mon, Mar 25 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. | 88° | 20.8° |
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.
