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 (EDT) for Columbus.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5:26 am Tue, Aug 4 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  235° | 9.4° | |
| 6:27 am Tue, Aug 4 | 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-southwest for the best view of the eclipse. | 245° | 0.2° | |
| 6:28 am Tue, Aug 4 | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. 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-southwest for the best view of the eclipse. | 245° | 0.1° | |
| 6:30 am Tue, Aug 4 | 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. | 245° | -0.2° |
| 7:52 am Tue, Aug 4 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 258° | -15.0° |
| 9:16 am Tue, Aug 4 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 270° | -30.2° |
| 10:18 am Tue, Aug 4 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 281° | -41.2° |
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.
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 (Aug 4)
In the past, this day was cloudy 72% of the time (since 2000).
