The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looked like in Amsterdam Island. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times were local time (TFT) for Amsterdam Island.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6:32 am Mon, May 16 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point. |  247° | 1.0° | |
| 6:37 am Mon, May 16 | Maximum in Amsterdam Island This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Amsterdam Island. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Amsterdam Island 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. | 246° | 0.2° | |
| 6:40 am Mon, May 16 | Setting | Moonset Setting | 246° | -0.2° |
| 7:27 am Mon, May 16 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse begins Below horizon | 238° | -8.7° |
| 8:29 am Mon, May 16 | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse begins Below horizon | 227° | -17.9° |
| 9:11 am Mon, May 16 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 219° | -23.3° |
| 9:53 am Mon, May 16 | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse ends Below horizon | 210° | -27.7° |
| 10:55 am Mon, May 16 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 195° | -32.0° |
| 11:50 am Mon, May 16 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 180° | -33.2° |
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.
The total phase of this lunar eclipse was not visible in Amsterdam Island, but it could be observed there as a penumbral lunar eclipse. A penumbral lunar eclipse can be a bit hard to see as the shadowed part is only a little bit fainter than the rest of the Moon.
Cloud Coverage (May 16)
