| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7:42 am Fri, Dec 21 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  291° | 12.8° | |
| 8:55 am Fri, Dec 21 | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to Northwest. | 305° | 4.3° | |
| 9:36 am Fri, Dec 21 | Maximum in Ust-Kamchatsk This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Ust-Kamchatsk. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Ust-Kamchatsk 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 Northwest for the best view of the eclipse. | 313° | 0.3° | |
| 9:43 am Fri, Dec 21 | Setting | Moonset Setting, but the combination of a very low moon and the total eclipse phase makes the Moon so dim before it sets, that it might disappear from view some time before it sets. | 314° | -0.2° |
| 10:15 am Fri, Dec 21 | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse begins Below horizon | 321° | -3.5° |
| 10:42 am Fri, Dec 21 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 326° | -5.8° |

| 12:28 pm Fri, Dec 21 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 350° | -11.1° |
| 1:41 pm Fri, Dec 21 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 6° | -11.5° |
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.
