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

Time	Phase	Event	Direction	Altitude
6:12 am Sun, Feb 21		Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point.	280°	1.1°
6:16 am Sun, Feb 21		Maximum in Transit Reef - Phantom Island This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Transit Reef - Phantom Island. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Transit Reef - Phantom Island 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 for the best view of the eclipse.	280°	0.2°
6:19 am Sun, Feb 21	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.	280°	-0.2°
8:12 am Sun, Feb 21	Not directly visible	Maximum Eclipse Below horizon	282°	-27.7°
10:13 am Sun, Feb 21	Not directly visible	Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon	290°	-55.5°

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 73% of the time (since 2000).
