Maximum in Mali i MelesinitThis is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Mali i Melesinit. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Mali i Melesinit 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-southwest for the best view of the eclipse.

Setting
MoonsetSetting, 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.
