The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2:53 am Mon, Mar 25 | 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 Southwest. |  222° | 3.3° | |
| 5:01 am Mon, Mar 25 | Maximum in Inuit Qeqertaat This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Inuit Qeqertaat. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Inuit Qeqertaat 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-southwest for the best view of the eclipse. | 253° | 0.2° | |
| 5:12 am Mon, Mar 25 | Maximum Eclipse Moon is closest to the center of the shadow. 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-southwest for the best view of the eclipse. Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see. | 256° | -0.0° | |
| 5:19 am Mon, Mar 25 | Setting | Moonset Setting | 258° | -0.2° |
| 7:32 am Mon, Mar 25 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 290° | -4.8° |
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.
