The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4:45 am Sat, Jun 6 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to Southwest. |  225° | 8.3° | |
| 5:50 am Sat, Jun 6 | Maximum in 46°01'38.8"N, 141°56'30.0"E This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 46°01'38.8"N, 141°56'30.0"E. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 46°01'38.8"N, 141°56'30.0"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. | 237° | 0.2° | |
| 5:53 am Sat, Jun 6 | 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. | 238° | -0.2° |
| 6:24 am Sat, Jun 6 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 243° | -5.4° |
| 8:04 am Sat, Jun 6 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 259° | -21.1° |
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.
