| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3:14 am Sat, May 6 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  209° | 11.8° | |
| 5:22 am Sat, May 6 | 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-southwest 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. | 236° | 0.1° | |
| 5:26 am Sat, May 6 | Setting | Moonset Setting | 237° | -0.2° |
| 7:31 am Sat, May 6 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 261° | -16.8° |
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.
