| 3:42 am Wed, Sep 18 | Maximum in Franz Josef Land This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Franz Josef Land. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Franz Josef Land because the Moon is below the horizon at that time.
