The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3:32 pm Mon, Nov 30 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon |  45° | -24.6° |
| 5:42 pm Mon, Nov 30 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 65° | -1.0° |
| 5:48 pm Mon, Nov 30 | Rising | Moonrise Rising | 65° | -0.2° |
| 5:51 pm Mon, Nov 30 | Maximum in 30°03'16.1"N, 107°51'35.4"E This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 30°03'16.1"N, 107°51'35.4"E. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 30°03'16.1"N, 107°51'35.4"E 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-northeast for the best view of the eclipse. | 66° | 0.3° | |
| 7:53 pm Mon, Nov 30 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. | 79° | 24.4° |
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.
