The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like in International Falls. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times are local time (CST) for International Falls.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3:12 pm Sat, Feb 20 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon |  45° | -21.0° |
| 5:12 pm Sat, Feb 20 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 69° | -5.3° |
| 5:42 pm Sat, Feb 20 | Rising | Moonrise Rising | 75° | -0.2° |
| 5:46 pm Sat, Feb 20 | Maximum in International Falls This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in International Falls. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in International Falls 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. | 76° | 0.2° | |
| 7:13 pm Sat, Feb 20 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. | 92° | 13.2° |
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.
During this penumbral lunar eclipse, the Earth's main shadow does not cover the Moon. As the Earth's shadow (umbra) misses the Moon during a penumbral lunar eclipse, there are no other locations on Earth where the Moon appears partially or totally eclipsed during this event. A penumbral lunar eclipse can be a bit hard to see as the shadowed part is only a little bit fainter than the rest of the Moon.
Cloud Coverage (Feb 20)
In the past, this day was cloudy 64% of the time (since 2000).
