| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4:23 am Fri, Aug 28 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to West-southwest. |  240° | 5.5° | |
| 5:12 am Fri, Aug 28 | Maximum in Rostov This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Rostov. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Rostov 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. | 250° | 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.
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)
In the past, this day was cloudy 68% of the time (since 2000).
