The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1:42 pm Thu, Dec 20 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon |  11° | -16.5° |
| 2:55 pm Thu, Dec 20 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse begins Below horizon | 27° | -12.8° |
| 4:15 pm Thu, Dec 20 | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse begins Below horizon | 44° | -5.6° |
| 4:42 pm Thu, Dec 20 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 49° | -1.7° |
| 4:57 pm Thu, Dec 20 | 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. | 52° | -0.2° |
| 5:01 pm Thu, Dec 20 | Maximum in Pacific Park This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Pacific Park. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Pacific 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 Northeast for the best view of the eclipse. | 52° | 0.2° | |
| 5:08 pm Thu, Dec 20 | Total Eclipse ends Total moon eclipse ends. Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point. Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see. | 54° | 1.0° | |
| 6:28 pm Thu, Dec 20 | Partial Eclipse ends Partial moon eclipse ends. | 68° | 11.4° | |
| 7:41 pm Thu, Dec 20 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. | 81° | 22.1° |
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 (Dec 20)
