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 is not visible in La Calera, but it can be observed there as a partial lunar eclipse. The Earth's shadow covers only a small portion of the Moon.
