Time	Phase	Event	Direction	Altitude
2:14 pm Tue, Mar 3	Not directly visible	Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon	70°	-45.4°

5:03 pm Tue, Mar 3	Not directly visible	Maximum Eclipse Below horizon	82°	-6.4°
5:27 pm Tue, Mar 3	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.	83°	-0.2°
5:32 pm Tue, Mar 3		Total Eclipse ends Total moon eclipse ends. Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point. Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see.	83°	0.9°
5:39 pm Tue, Mar 3		Maximum in Passa This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Passa. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Passa because the Moon is below the horizon at that time. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East.	84°	2.4°
6:47 pm Tue, Mar 3		Partial Eclipse ends Partial moon eclipse ends.	86°	18.3°
7:53 pm Tue, Mar 3		Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends.	89°	34.1°

The curvature of the shadow's path and the apparent rotation of the Moon's disk is due to the Earth's rotation.

In the past, this day was cloudy 50% of the time (since 2000).
