| 6:50 pm Wed, May 26 | Rising | Moonrise Rising | 112° | -0.2° |
| 6:53 pm Wed, May 26 | Maximum in 20°35'37"N, 78°57'46"E This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 20°35'37"N, 78°57'46"E. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 20°35'37"N, 78°57'46"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-southeast for the best view of the eclipse. | 112° | 0.3° | |
| 7:19 pm Wed, May 26 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East-southeast. | 115° | 5.2° |
