| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3:25 am Tue, May 24 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  250° | 35.9° | |
| 4:38 am Tue, May 24 | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. | 251° | 19.4° | |
| 6:01 am Tue, May 24 | Total Eclipse begins Total moon eclipse starts - completely red moon. Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point. Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see. | 249° | 1.0° | |
| 6:05 am Tue, May 24 | Maximum in Luanda This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Luanda. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Luanda 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. | 248° | 0.3° | |
| 6:07 am Tue, May 24 | 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. | 248° | -0.2° |
| 6:26 am Tue, May 24 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 248° | -4.9° |

| 9:26 am Tue, May 24 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 230° | -42.2° |
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.
