The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like in Kiritimati. Stages and Â鶹ӳ» of the eclipse are outlined below. All Â鶹ӳ» are local time (LINT) for Kiritimati.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4:27 am Sat, Aug 30 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  256° | 28.0° | |
| 6:12 am Sat, Aug 30 | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to West. | 259° | 3.4° | |
| 6:26 am Sat, Aug 30 | Maximum in Kiritimati This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Kiritimati. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Kiritimati 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 for the best view of the eclipse. | 259° | 0.2° | |
| 6:29 am Sat, Aug 30 | 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. | 259° | -0.2° |
| 6:37 am Sat, Aug 30 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 259° | -1.8° |
| 7:01 am Sat, Aug 30 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 260° | -8.6° |
| 8:46 am Sat, Aug 30 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 259° | -33.2° |
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.
During this partial lunar eclipse, the Earth's shadow covers only parts of the Moon, as seen from Kiritimati. There are no other locations on Earth where the Moon appears completely covered during this event. The Earth's shadow covers only a small portion of the Moon.
