The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4:47 am Wed, May 26 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  241° | 16.4° | |
| 5:45 am Wed, May 26 | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to West-southwest. | 246° | 4.7° | |
| 6:03 am Wed, May 26 | Maximum in Barahona This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Barahona. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Barahona because the Moon is below the horizon at that time. Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point. | 247° | 1.0° | |
| 6:10 am Wed, May 26 | 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. | 248° | -0.2° |
| 7:11 am Wed, May 26 | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse begins Below horizon | 252° | -14.0° |
| 7:18 am Wed, May 26 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 252° | -15.6° |
| 7:25 am Wed, May 26 | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse ends Below horizon | 252° | -17.1° |
| 8:52 am Wed, May 26 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 256° | -36.1° |
| 9:49 am Wed, May 26 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 258° | -48.7° |
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.
