Maximum in EchucaThis is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Echuca. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Echuca 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 East for the best view of the eclipse.

Partial Eclipse endsPartial moon eclipse ends. 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 was not visible in Echuca, but it could be observed there as a partial lunar eclipse. The Earth's shadow covered only a small portion of the Moon.
