| 6:25 pm Fri, May 5 | 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. | 108° | -0.2° |
| 7:22 pm Fri, May 5 | Maximum Eclipse Moon is closest to the center of the shadow. | 104° | 11.9° | |

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.
