Maximum in ÖstersundThis is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Östersund. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Östersund 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.

Setting
MoonsetSetting, 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.
The curvature of the shadow's path and the apparent rotation of the Moon's disk is due to the Earth's rotation.
During this partial lunar eclipse, the Earth's shadow covers only parts of the Moon, as seen from Östersund. There are no other locations on Earth where the Moon appears completely covered during this event.
