|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4:57 am Sat, Jun 26 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to West-southwest. |  241° | 7.8° | |
| 5:29 am Sat, Jun 26 | Maximum in The Bottom This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in The Bottom. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in The Bottom because the Moon is below the horizon at that time. Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point. | 243° | 1.5° | |

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.
