Maximum in 40°25'14.0"N, 19°17'22.6"E This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 40°25'14.0"N, 19°17'22.6"E. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 40°25'14.0"N, 19°17'22.6"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 West-southwest for the best view of the eclipse.

The curvature of the shadow's path and the apparent rotation of the Moon's disk is due to the Earth's rotation.
