| 8:12 pm Thu, Aug 27 | Maximum Eclipse Moon is closest to the center of the shadow. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East-southeast. Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see. | 110° | 1.5° | |

The curvature of the shadow's path and the apparent rotation of the Moon's disk is due to the Earth's rotation.
