The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below.

Time	Phase	Event	Direction	Altitude
6:03 am Sun, Dec 31		Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face.	287°	15.3°
7:07 am Sun, Dec 31		Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to West-northwest.	297°	4.9°
7:40 am Sun, Dec 31		Maximum in Crater Lake National Park This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Crater Lake National Park. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Crater Lake National Park 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 West-northwest for the best view of the eclipse.	302°	0.2°
7:43 am Sun, Dec 31	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.	302°	-0.2°
8:16 am Sun, Dec 31	Not directly visible	Total Eclipse begins Below horizon	308°	-5.5°
8:52 am Sun, Dec 31	Not directly visible	Maximum Eclipse Below horizon	314°	-10.3°
9:27 am Sun, Dec 31	Not directly visible	Total Eclipse ends Below horizon	321°	-14.5°
10:36 am Sun, Dec 31	Not directly visible	Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon	335°	-20.9°
11:40 am Sun, Dec 31	Not directly visible	Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon	350°	-24.3°

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

In the past, this day was cloudy 80% of the time (since 2000).
