Time	Phase	Event	Direction	Altitude
3:14 pm Tue, Mar 3	Not directly visible	Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon	91°	-44.6°
4:20 pm Tue, Mar 3	Not directly visible	Partial Eclipse begins Below horizon	88°	-29.2°
5:34 pm Tue, Mar 3	Not directly visible	Total Eclipse begins Below horizon	85°	-11.6°
6:03 pm Tue, Mar 3	Not directly visible	Maximum Eclipse Below horizon	84°	-4.7°
6:20 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°
6:22 pm Tue, Mar 3		Maximum in Pulo Klapa Satu This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Pulo Klapa Satu. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Pulo Klapa Satu 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.	83°	0.2°
6:32 pm Tue, Mar 3		Total Eclipse ends Total moon eclipse ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East. Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see.	82°	2.4°
7:47 pm Tue, Mar 3		Partial Eclipse ends Partial moon eclipse ends.	78°	19.7°
8:53 pm Tue, Mar 3		Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends.	73°	35.1°

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 75% of the time (since 2000).
