| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3:57 am Sat, Jun 26 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  218° | 15.4° | |
| 5:17 am Sat, Jun 26 | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to Southwest. | 232° | 5.0° | |
| 5:50 am Sat, Jun 26 | Maximum in Independence This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Independence. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Independence 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-southwest for the best view of the eclipse. | 237° | 0.2° | |
| 5:53 am Sat, Jun 26 | 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. | 238° | -0.2° |
| 6:38 am Sat, Jun 26 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 244° | -8.2° |

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 covered only parts of the Moon, as seen from Independence. There were no other locations on Earth where the Moon appeared completely covered during this event.
