| 6:28 am Fri, Aug 28 | Maximum in Saint-Pierre This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Saint-Pierre.

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.
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 (Aug 28)
