Time	Phase	Event	Direction	Altitude
4:53 am Mon, Mar 25		Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face.	252°	9.9°
6:03 am Mon, Mar 25		Maximum in 56°27'46.4"N, 2°56'53.5"W This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 56°27'46.4"N, 2°56'53.5"W. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 56°27'46.4"N, 2°56'53.5"W because the Moon is below the horizon at that time. Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point.	266°	0.7°
6:11 am Mon, Mar 25	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.	268°	-0.2°
7:12 am Mon, Mar 25	Not directly visible	Maximum Eclipse Below horizon	280°	-9.2°
9:32 am Mon, Mar 25	Not directly visible	Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon	311°	-26.4°

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.
