6:16 pm Fri, Aug 28		Maximum in Mutton Bird Islands This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Mutton Bird Islands. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Mutton Bird Islands 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.	102°	0.2°
7:01 pm Fri, Aug 28		Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East.	94°	7.1°

The curvature of the shadow's path and the apparent rotation of the Moon's disk is due to the Earth's rotation.

In the past, this day was cloudy 77% of the time (since 2000).
