March 3, 2026 — Total Lunar Eclipse — Ushuaia
The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like in Ushuaia. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times are local time (ART) for Ushuaia.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5:44 am Tue, Mar 3 | 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 West-northwest. |  297° | 9.1° | |
| 6:50 am Tue, Mar 3 | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point. | 284° | 1.1° | |
| 6:57 am Tue, Mar 3 | Maximum in Ushuaia This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Ushuaia. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Ushuaia 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-northwest for the best view of the eclipse. | 282° | 0.2° | |
| 7:01 am Tue, Mar 3 | 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. | 282° | -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.
