| 4:12 am Sun, Feb 21 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  282° | 28.6° | |
| 6:12 am Sun, Feb 21 | Maximum Eclipse Moon is closest to the center of the shadow. 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 West for the best view of the eclipse. Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see. | 279° | 0.4° | |

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.
