The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. This calculation uses a Delta T value of 69.9 seconds.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4:39:44 pm Wed, Jan 26 | Partial Eclipse begins The Moon touches the Sun's edge. Sun close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to Southwest. |  235° | 3.1° | |
| 5:02:51 pm Wed, Jan 26 | Maximum Eclipse Moon is closest to the center of the Sun. Since the Sun 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° | |
| 5:06:42 pm Wed, Jan 26 | Setting | Sunset Setting | 241° | -0.2° |
| 6:56:11 pm Wed, Jan 26 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 261° | -17.4° |
How to use altitude & direction to find in the sky
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like near the maximum point. The curvature of the Moon's path is due to the Earth's rotation.
