The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below.

Time	Phase	Event	Direction	Altitude
7:03 am Sun, Dec 31		Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to West-northwest.	295°	2.1°
7:15 am Sun, Dec 31		Maximum in 29°41'32.2"N, 110°49'11.3"W This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 29°41'32.2"N, 110°49'11.3"W. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 29°41'32.2"N, 110°49'11.3"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 West-northwest for the best view of the eclipse.	297°	0.2°
7:17 am Sun, Dec 31	Setting	Moonset Setting	297°	-0.2°
8:07 am Sun, Dec 31	Not directly visible	Partial Eclipse begins Below horizon	303°	-9.8°
9:16 am Sun, Dec 31	Not directly visible	Total Eclipse begins Below horizon	314°	-21.1°
9:52 am Sun, Dec 31	Not directly visible	Maximum Eclipse Below horizon	320°	-26.1°
10:27 am Sun, Dec 31	Not directly visible	Total Eclipse ends Below horizon	327°	-30.5°
11:36 am Sun, Dec 31	Not directly visible	Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon	344°	-36.3°
12:40 pm Sun, Dec 31	Not directly visible	Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon	1°	-38.0°

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 43% of the time (since 2000).
