Maximum in Hagåtña This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Hagåtña. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Hagåtña 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.		Map direction West-northwest 293°

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.

The total phase of this lunar eclipse is not visible in Hagåtña, but it can be observed there as a penumbral lunar eclipse. 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.

Cloud Coverage (Dec 21)

In the past, this day was cloudy 69% of the time (since 2000).
