Maximum in TucumánThis is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Tucumán. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Tucumán because the Moon is below the horizon at that time. Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point.
The curvature of the shadow's path and the apparent rotation of the Moon's disk is due to the Earth's rotation.
The total phase of this lunar eclipse is not visible in Tucumán, but it can be observed there as a partial lunar eclipse. The Earth's shadow covers a large portion of the Moon, so this is still a nice sight.
