The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2:53 am Mon, Mar 25 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to Southwest. |  219° | 3.6° | |
| 5:12 am Mon, Mar 25 | Maximum Eclipse Moon is closest to the center of the shadow. 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. Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see. | 253° | 0.2° | |
| 5:29 am Mon, Mar 25 | Setting | Moonset Setting | 257° | -0.2° |
| 7:32 am Mon, Mar 25 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 287° | -4.6° |
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.
