| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3:34 am Tue, Jun 26 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  220° | 22.7° | |

| 5:46 am Tue, Jun 26 | Maximum in Cairo This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Cairo. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Cairo because the Moon is below the horizon at that time. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to West-southwest. | 241° | 1.6° | |
| 5:58 am Tue, Jun 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. | 242° | -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.
This total lunar eclipse is fully visible in Cairo. The total lunar eclipse is sometimes called a blood moon, as the Moon turns red.
