The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looked like in Male. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times were local time (MVT) for Male.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1:47 pm Wed, May 26 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon |  123° | -59.2° |
| 2:45 pm Wed, May 26 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse begins Below horizon | 115° | -47.3° |
| 4:11 pm Wed, May 26 | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse begins Below horizon | 111° | -28.5° |
| 4:18 pm Wed, May 26 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 111° | -26.9° |
| 4:25 pm Wed, May 26 | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse ends Below horizon | 110° | -25.3° |
| 5:52 pm Wed, May 26 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 110° | -6.0° |
| 6:15 pm Wed, May 26 | Rising | Moonrise Rising | 111° | -0.2° |
| 6:19 pm Wed, May 26 | Maximum in Male This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Male. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Male 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-southeast for the best view of the eclipse. | 111° | 0.6° | |
| 6:49 pm Wed, May 26 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East-southeast. | 112° | 6.9° |
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 Male, 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 26)
