The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4:53 am Mon, Mar 25 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  288° | 23.2° | |
| 6:57 am Mon, Mar 25 | Maximum in The Bluff This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in The Bluff. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in The Bluff 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 for the best view of the eclipse. | 269° | 0.2° | |
| 6:59 am Mon, Mar 25 | Setting | Moonset Setting, but the combination of a very low moon and the total eclipse phase makes the Moon so dim before it sets, that it might disappear from view some time before it sets. | 268° | -0.2° |
| 7:12 am Mon, Mar 25 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 266° | -2.8° |
| 9:32 am Mon, Mar 25 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 243° | -28.9° |
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.
