6:46 pm Fri, Aug 28		Maximum in Diomede Islands This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Diomede Islands. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Diomede Islands 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 East-southeast for the best view of the eclipse.	113°	0.2°
7:01 pm Fri, Aug 28		Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point.	116°	1.4°

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

In the past, this day was cloudy 85% of the time (since 2000).
