| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| 8:52 pm Thu, Jul 20 | Rising | Moonrise Rising, but the combination of a very low moon and the total eclipse phase will make the moon so dim that it will be extremely difficult to view until moon gets higher in the sky or the total phase ends. | 117° | -0.2° |
| 8:55 pm Thu, Jul 20 | 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 East-southeast for the best view of the eclipse. | 117° | 0.2° | |
| 9:23 pm Thu, Jul 20 | Total Eclipse ends Total moon eclipse ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East-southeast. | 122° | 4.4° | |

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.
