| 8:05 pm Thu, Jul 5 | Maximum in Shiraz This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Shiraz. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Shiraz 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° | |
| 8:44 pm Thu, Jul 5 | Partial Eclipse ends Partial moon eclipse ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East-southeast. | 122° | 6.9° | |

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.
During this partial lunar eclipse, the Earth's shadow covered only parts of the Moon, as seen from Shiraz. There were no other locations on Earth where the Moon appeared completely covered during this event.
Cloud Coverage (Jul 5)
In the past, this day was cloudy 1% of the time (since 2000).
