| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6:11 am Wed, Sep 18 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to West. |  265° | 2.7° | |
| 6:23 am Wed, Sep 18 | Maximum in 18°55'50.1"N, 72°50'38.1"E This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 18°55'50.1"N, 72°50'38.1"E. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 18°55'50.1"N, 72°50'38.1"E 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 West for the best view of the eclipse. | 266° | 0.2° | |
| 6:25 am Wed, Sep 18 | Setting | Moonset Setting | 266° | -0.2° |
| 7:42 am Wed, Sep 18 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse begins Below horizon | 273° | -18.3° |
| 8:14 am Wed, Sep 18 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 275° | -25.3° |
| 8:45 am Wed, Sep 18 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 279° | -32.3° |
| 10:17 am Wed, Sep 18 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 291° | -52.1° |
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.
