| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4:53 pm Tue, Apr 15 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon |  79° | -15.1° |
| 5:58 pm Tue, Apr 15 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse begins Below horizon | 94° | -9.6° |
| 7:06 pm Tue, Apr 15 | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse begins Below horizon | 109° | -3.9° |
| 7:45 pm Tue, Apr 15 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 118° | -0.4° |
| 7:48 pm Tue, Apr 15 | Rising | Moonrise Rising, but the combination of a very low moon and the total eclipse phase will make the moon so dim that it will be extremely difficult to view until moon gets higher in the sky or the total phase ends. | 119° | -0.2° |
| 7:55 pm Tue, Apr 15 | Maximum in Mys Shmidta This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Mys Shmidta. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Mys Shmidta 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. | 120° | 0.2° | |
| 8:24 pm Tue, Apr 15 | Total Eclipse ends Total moon eclipse ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to Southeast. Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see. | 127° | 2.0° | |
| 9:33 pm Tue, Apr 15 | Partial Eclipse ends Partial moon eclipse ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to Southeast. | 143° | 5.9° | |
| 10:37 pm Tue, Apr 15 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to South-southeast. | 158° | 8.4° |
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 Mys Shmidta. The total lunar eclipse is someÂ鶹ӳ» called a blood moon, as the Moon turns red.
Cloud Coverage (Apr 15)
