The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11:24 pm Mon, Aug 16 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon |  148° | -1.7° |
| 12:44 am Tue, Aug 17 | Rising | Moonrise Rising, but the combination of a very low moon and the total eclipse phase will make the moon so dim that it will be extremely difficult to view until moon gets higher in the sky or the total phase ends. | 167° | -0.2° |
| 1:13 am Tue, Aug 17 | Maximum Eclipse Moon is closest to the center of the shadow. 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 South for the best view of the eclipse. Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see. | 174° | 0.1° | |
| 2:58 am Tue, Aug 17 | Setting | Moonset Setting | 199° | -0.2° |
| 3:03 am Tue, Aug 17 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 200° | -0.3° |
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.
Cloud Coverage (Aug 16–17)
In the past, this day was cloudy 86% of the time (since 2000).
