The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4:41 pm Tue, Sep 17 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon |  65° | -20.0° |
| 6:12 pm Tue, Sep 17 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse begins Below horizon | 84° | -7.9° |
| 6:44 pm Tue, Sep 17 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 90° | -3.5° |
| 7:05 pm Tue, Sep 17 | Rising | Moonrise Rising | 94° | -0.2° |
| 7:10 pm Tue, Sep 17 | Maximum in 56°44'45.6"N, 132°58'46.7"W This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 56°44'45.6"N, 132°58'46.7"W. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 56°44'45.6"N, 132°58'46.7"W 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 East for the best view of the eclipse. | 95° | 0.4° | |
| 7:15 pm Tue, Sep 17 | Partial Eclipse ends Partial moon eclipse ends. Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point. | 96° | 1.0° | |
| 8:47 pm Tue, Sep 17 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. | 115° | 12.7° |
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.
