Maximum in Cockburn Harbour This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Cockburn Harbour. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Cockburn Harbour because the Moon is below the horizon at that time.
Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point.

6:04 am Tue, Mar 3
Total Eclipse begins Total moon eclipse starts - completely red moon.
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 for the best view of the eclipse.
Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see.

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 Cockburn Harbour, but it can be observed there as a partial lunar eclipse. The Earth's shadow covers a large portion of the Moon, so this is still a nice sight.
