| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4:47 pm Wed, May 26 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon |  97° | -29.9° |
| 5:45 pm Wed, May 26 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse begins Below horizon | 103° | -18.4° |
| 7:11 pm Wed, May 26 | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse begins Below horizon | 113° | -1.0° |
| 7:16 pm Wed, May 26 | 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. | 114° | -0.2° |
| 7:18 pm Wed, May 26 | 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 East-southeast 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. | 114° | 0.1° | |
| 7:25 pm Wed, May 26 | 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. | 115° | 1.2° | |
| 8:52 pm Wed, May 26 | Partial Eclipse ends Partial moon eclipse ends. | 128° | 15.9° | |
| 9:49 pm Wed, May 26 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. | 138° | 24.4° |
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.
