The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looked like in 40°08'57.8"N, 18°29'36.5"E. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times were local time (CEST) for 40°08'57.8"N, 18°29'36.5"E.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5:14 pm Fri, May 5 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon |  90° | -27.2° |
| 7:22 pm Fri, May 5 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 109° | -4.3° |
| 7:43 pm Fri, May 5 | Rising | Moonrise Rising | 113° | -0.2° |
| 7:50 pm Fri, May 5 | Maximum in 40°08'57.8"N, 18°29'36.5"E This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 40°08'57.8"N, 18°29'36.5"E. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 40°08'57.8"N, 18°29'36.5"E because the Moon is below the horizon at that time. Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point. | 114° | 0.7° | |
| 9:31 pm Fri, May 5 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. | 131° | 15.8° |
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.
Cloud Coverage (May 5)
