| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3:02 am Tue, Nov 8 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  267° | 47.2° | |
| 4:09 am Tue, Nov 8 | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. | 274° | 32.4° | |
| 5:16 am Tue, Nov 8 | Total Eclipse begins Total moon eclipse starts - completely red moon. | 280° | 17.6° | |
| 5:59 am Tue, Nov 8 | Maximum Eclipse Moon is closest to the center of the shadow. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to West-northwest. | 284° | 8.6° | |
| 6:41 am Tue, Nov 8 | Total Eclipse ends Total moon eclipse ends. 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-northwest 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. | 288° | 0.1° | |

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.
This total lunar eclipse is fully visible in Key West. The total lunar eclipse is sometimes called a blood moon, as the Moon turns red.
