| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12:02 am Fri, Nov 19 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  310° | 82.1° | |

| 6:03 am Fri, Nov 19 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. 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. | 289° | 0.6° |
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.
During this partial lunar eclipse, the Earth's shadow covered only parts of the Moon, as seen from San Salvador. There were no other locations on Earth where the Moon appeared completely covered during this event. The Earth's shadow covered a large portion of the Moon, so this was still a nice sight.
Cloud Coverage (Nov 19)
In the past, this day was cloudy 27% of the time (since 2000).
