|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3:23 pm Fri, Aug 28 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon |  110° | -37.3° |
| 4:33 pm Fri, Aug 28 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse begins Below horizon | 104° | -21.6° |
| 6:03 pm Fri, Aug 28 | 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. | 99° | -0.2° |
| 6:12 pm Fri, Aug 28 | Maximum Eclipse Moon is closest to the center of the shadow. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East. Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see. | 99° | 1.8° | |
| 7:51 pm Fri, Aug 28 | Partial Eclipse ends Partial moon eclipse ends. | 95° | 25.0° | |
| 9:01 pm Fri, Aug 28 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. | 92° | 41.7° |
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.
