The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6:45 pm Fri, Jun 5 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon |  101° | -25.9° |
| 8:24 pm Fri, Jun 5 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 111° | -6.0° |
| 8:51 pm Fri, Jun 5 | Rising | Moonrise Rising | 114° | -0.2° |
| 8:54 pm Fri, Jun 5 | Maximum in 28°10'40.5"N, 15°24'18.9"W This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 28°10'40.5"N, 15°24'18.9"W. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 28°10'40.5"N, 15°24'18.9"W 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. | 114° | 0.2° | |
| 10:04 pm Fri, Jun 5 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. | 123° | 12.5° |
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.
