The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2:14 pm Tue, Mar 3 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon |  50° | -50.2° |
| 3:20 pm Tue, Mar 3 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse begins Below horizon | 63° | -38.0° |
| 4:34 pm Tue, Mar 3 | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse begins Below horizon | 73° | -22.5° |
| 5:03 pm Tue, Mar 3 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 77° | -16.1° |
| 5:32 pm Tue, Mar 3 | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse ends Below horizon | 79° | -9.7° |
| 6:12 pm Tue, Mar 3 | Rising | Moonrise Rising | 83° | -0.2° |
| 6:15 pm Tue, Mar 3 | Maximum in 20°27'34.0"N, 80°27'55.8"E This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 20°27'34.0"N, 80°27'55.8"E. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 20°27'34.0"N, 80°27'55.8"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 East for the best view of the eclipse. | 83° | 0.2° | |
| 6:47 pm Tue, Mar 3 | Partial Eclipse ends Partial moon eclipse ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East. | 86° | 7.0° | |
| 7:53 pm Tue, Mar 3 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. | 92° | 21.9° |
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.
