The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like in Ely. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times are local time (CST) for Ely.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1:42 pm Thu, Dec 20 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon |  24° | -16.0° |
| 2:55 pm Thu, Dec 20 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse begins Below horizon | 39° | -9.9° |
| 4:12 pm Thu, Dec 20 | 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. | 54° | -0.2° |
| 4:15 pm Thu, Dec 20 | Total Eclipse begins Total moon eclipse starts - completely red moon. 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 Northeast 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. | 54° | 0.1° | |
| 4:42 pm Thu, Dec 20 | Maximum Eclipse Moon is closest to the center of the shadow. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East-northeast. | 59° | 3.4° | |
| 5:08 pm Thu, Dec 20 | Total Eclipse ends Total moon eclipse ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East-northeast. | 64° | 7.1° | |
| 6:28 pm Thu, Dec 20 | Partial Eclipse ends Partial moon eclipse ends. | 77° | 19.2° | |
| 7:41 pm Thu, Dec 20 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. | 89° | 30.9° |
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.
Cloud Coverage (Dec 20)
In the past, this day was cloudy 79% of the time (since 2000).
