| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1:57 am Fri, Mar 14 | 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 South-southwest. |  208° | 5.3° | |
| 3:09 am Fri, Mar 14 | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to Southwest. | 225° | 4.5° | |
| 4:26 am Fri, Mar 14 | Total Eclipse begins Total moon eclipse starts - completely red moon. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to West-southwest. | 244° | 3.4° | |
| 4:58 am Fri, Mar 14 | Maximum Eclipse Moon is closest to the center of the shadow. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to West-southwest. | 252° | 2.9° | |
| 5:31 am Fri, Mar 14 | Total Eclipse ends Total moon eclipse ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to West. Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see. | 260° | 2.4° | |
| 6:47 am Fri, Mar 14 | Partial Eclipse ends Partial moon eclipse ends. Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point. | 278° | 1.2° | |
| 8:00 am Fri, Mar 14 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra 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 West-northwest for the best view of the eclipse. | 296° | 0.2° |
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.
