The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looked like in Columbus. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times were local time (EST) for Columbus.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4:17 am Sat, Mar 22 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  246° | 24.9° | |
| 5:12 am Sat, Mar 22 | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. | 256° | 15.0° | |
| 6:11 am Sat, Mar 22 | Total Eclipse begins Total moon eclipse starts - completely red moon. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to West. | 265° | 4.2° | |
| 6:34 am Sat, Mar 22 | Maximum in Columbus This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Columbus. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Columbus 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 for the best view of the eclipse. | 269° | 0.2° | |
| 6:37 am Sat, Mar 22 | Setting | Moonset Setting, 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. | 269° | -0.2° |
| 6:57 am Sat, Mar 22 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 272° | -4.7° |
| 7:43 am Sat, Mar 22 | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse ends Below horizon | 279° | -13.4° |
| 8:42 am Sat, Mar 22 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 289° | -23.9° |
| 9:37 am Sat, Mar 22 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 300° | -33.3° |
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 was fully visible in Columbus. The total lunar eclipse is sometimes called a blood moon, as the Moon turns red.
