The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looked like in Dourados. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times were local time (AMT) for Dourados.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4:47 am Wed, May 26 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  254° | 16.1° | |
| 5:45 am Wed, May 26 | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to West-southwest. | 249° | 4.2° | |
| 6:03 am Wed, May 26 | Maximum in Dourados This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Dourados. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Dourados 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-southwest for the best view of the eclipse. | 248° | 0.6° | |
| 6:08 am Wed, May 26 | 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. | 247° | -0.2° |
| 7:11 am Wed, May 26 | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse begins Below horizon | 241° | -13.4° |
| 7:18 am Wed, May 26 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 240° | -14.8° |
| 7:25 am Wed, May 26 | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse ends Below horizon | 239° | -16.1° |
| 8:52 am Wed, May 26 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 226° | -31.3° |
| 9:49 am Wed, May 26 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 214° | -39.4° |
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.
The total phase of this lunar eclipse was not visible in Dourados, but it could be observed there as a partial lunar eclipse.
Cloud Coverage (May 26)
In the past, this day was cloudy 49% of the time (since 2000).
