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 Port Mathurin (Rodrigues). 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 54% of the time (since 2000).
