| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3:26 am Mon, Dec 30 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  305° | 28.4° | |
| 4:24 am Mon, Dec 30 | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. | 299° | 16.8° | |
| 5:27 am Mon, Dec 30 | Total Eclipse begins Total moon eclipse starts - completely red moon. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to West-northwest. | 294° | 3.7° | |
| 5:45 am Mon, Dec 30 | Maximum in Lima This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Lima. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Lima 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-northwest for the best view of the eclipse. | 293° | 0.2° | |
| 5:48 am Mon, Dec 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. | 293° | -0.2° |
| 6:06 am Mon, Dec 30 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 292° | -4.9° |
| 6:45 am Mon, Dec 30 | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse ends Below horizon | 291° | -13.3° |
| 7:48 am Mon, Dec 30 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 289° | -27.1° |
| 8:46 am Mon, Dec 30 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 289° | -39.7° |
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.
This total lunar eclipse was fully visible in Lima. The total lunar eclipse is someÂ鶹ӳ» called a blood moon, as the Moon turns red.
