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

Time	Phase	Event	Direction	Altitude
1:44 pm Tue, Mar 3	Not directly visible	Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon	24°	-11.8°
2:50 pm Tue, Mar 3	Not directly visible	Partial Eclipse begins Below horizon	40°	-9.2°
4:04 pm Tue, Mar 3	Not directly visible	Total Eclipse begins Below horizon	58°	-4.9°
4:33 pm Tue, Mar 3	Not directly visible	Maximum Eclipse Below horizon	64°	-2.0°
5:02 pm Tue, Mar 3	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.	71°	-0.2°
5:02 pm Tue, Mar 3		Total Eclipse ends Total moon eclipse ends. 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-northeast 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.	71°	-0.2°
5:09 pm Tue, Mar 3		Maximum in 70°12'52.1"N, 74°55'50.0"E This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in 70°12'52.1"N, 74°55'50.0"E. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in 70°12'52.1"N, 74°55'50.0"E 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-northeast for the best view of the eclipse.	73°	0.2°
6:17 pm Tue, Mar 3		Partial Eclipse ends Partial moon eclipse ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East.	88°	5.0°
7:23 pm Tue, Mar 3		Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends.	103°	10.1°

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.
