| 6:11 pm Sun, Dec 31 | Rising | Moonrise Rising, but the combination of a very low moon and the total eclipse phase will make the moon so dim that it will be extremely difficult to view until moon gets higher in the sky or the total phase ends. | 59° | -0.2° |
| 6:14 pm Sun, Dec 31 | Maximum in Badajoz This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Badajoz. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Badajoz 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-northeast for the best view of the eclipse. | 60° | 0.2° | |
| 6:27 pm Sun, Dec 31 | Total Eclipse ends Total moon eclipse ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East-northeast. Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see. | 61° | 2.1° | |
