The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5:44 pm Thu, Jul 6 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon |  100° | -30.1° |
| 7:09 pm Thu, Jul 6 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse begins Below horizon | 109° | -13.6° |
| 8:18 pm Thu, Jul 6 | Rising | Moonrise Rising, but the combination of a very low moon and the total eclipse phase will make the moon so dim that it will be extremely difficult to view until moon gets higher in the sky or the total phase ends. | 118° | -0.2° |
| 8:19 pm Thu, Jul 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 East-southeast 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. | 118° | 0.1° | |
| 9:30 pm Thu, Jul 6 | Partial Eclipse ends Partial moon eclipse ends. | 128° | 11.6° | |
| 10:55 pm Thu, Jul 6 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. | 143° | 23.7° |
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.
Cloud Coverage (Jul 6)
In the past, this day was cloudy 30% of the time (since 2000).
