| 7:02 pm Wed, May 26 | Maximum in Suheli Par This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Suheli Par. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Suheli Par 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. | 111° | 0.2° | |
| 7:19 pm Wed, May 26 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East-southeast. | 112° | 3.6° |
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.
