The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below.

Time	Phase	Event	Direction	Altitude
5:24 pm Tue, Aug 17	Not directly visible	Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon	95°	-25.5°
7:13 pm Tue, Aug 17	Rising	Moonrise Rising, but the combination of a very low moon and the total eclipse phase will make the moon so dim that it will be extremely difficult to view until moon gets higher in the sky or the total phase ends.	103°	-0.2°
7:13 pm Tue, Aug 17		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 East-southeast 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.	103°	-0.2°
7:16 pm Tue, Aug 17		Maximum in Peacock Point This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Peacock Point. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Peacock Point 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.	103°	0.4°
9:03 pm Tue, Aug 17		Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends.	113°	23.3°

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 65% of the time (since 2000).
