Penumbral Eclipse beginsThe Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. 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.

Maximum in OsakaThis is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Osaka. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Osaka 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.

Setting
MoonsetSetting, 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.
