The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like in Columbus. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times are local time (EST) for Columbus.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6:28 am Wed, Dec 13 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  289° | 11.8° | |
| 7:24 am Wed, Dec 13 | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to West-northwest. | 297° | 2.7° | |
| 7:40 am Wed, Dec 13 | 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-northwest for the best view of the eclipse. | 299° | 0.3° | |
| 7:44 am Wed, Dec 13 | 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. | 300° | -0.2° |
| 8:22 am Wed, Dec 13 | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse begins Below horizon | 306° | -6.6° |
| 9:08 am Wed, Dec 13 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 314° | -13.0° |
| 9:54 am Wed, Dec 13 | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse ends Below horizon | 323° | -18.6° |
| 10:52 am Wed, Dec 13 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 335° | -24.0° |
| 11:47 am Wed, Dec 13 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 348° | -27.1° |
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.
The total phase of this lunar eclipse is not visible in Columbus, but it can be observed there as a partial lunar eclipse.
