The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like in 43°07'18"N, 88°05'33"W. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times are local time (CDT) for 43°07'18"N, 88°05'33"W.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3:47 am Wed, May 26 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  223° | 12.9° | |
| 4:44 am Wed, May 26 | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to Southwest. | 234° | 5.2° | |
| 5:20 am Wed, May 26 | Maximum in 43°07'18"N, 88°05'33"W This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 43°07'18"N, 88°05'33"W. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 43°07'18"N, 88°05'33"W 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. | 240° | 0.2° | |
| 5:24 am Wed, May 26 | Setting | Moonset Setting, but the combination of a very low moon and the total eclipse phase makes the Moon so dim before it sets, that it might disappear from view some time before it sets. | 241° | -0.2° |
| 6:11 am Wed, May 26 | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse begins Below horizon | 248° | -8.4° |
| 6:18 am Wed, May 26 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 249° | -9.6° |
| 6:25 am Wed, May 26 | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse ends Below horizon | 250° | -10.8° |
| 7:52 am Wed, May 26 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 263° | -25.6° |
| 8:49 am Wed, May 26 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 272° | -35.6° |
