Detailed view

Time	Event	Direction	Altitude
15:33:02 Wed, Jan 26	Partial eclipse begins The moment the edge of the Moon touches the edge of the Sun is called first contact.	224°	21.0°
16:51:54 Wed, Jan 26	Annularity begins The moment the Sun forms a ring around the Moon is called second contact. The Sun is close to the horizon, so make sure you have free sight to the WSW.	238°	9.2°
16:55:27 Wed, Jan 26	Maximum eclipse The deepest point of the eclipse, with the Sun at its most hidden. The Sun is close to the horizon, so make sure you have free sight to the WSW.	239°	8.4°
16:59:00 Wed, Jan 26	Annularity ends The moment the Sun’s ring around the Moon is broken is called third contact. The Sun is close to the horizon, so make sure you have free sight to the WSW.	239°	7.8°
17:47:09 Wed, Jan 26	Sunset The sun is setting.	247°	-0.3°
18:08:01 Wed, Jan 26	Partial eclipse ends The moment the edge of the Moon leaves the edge of the Sun is called fourth contact. Since the Sun is near the horizon at this time, we recommend going to a high point or finding an unobstructed area with free sight to the WSW for the best view of the eclipse.	250°	-4.9°

* Timings for the beginning & end of partial eclipse and maximum eclipse are accurate to within a few seconds. This calculation uses a Delta T value of 69.9 seconds.
Timings for other events are approximate—they are included here as a rough guide to features that might be observable. The icons show the position of the Moon against the Sun at each stage.

How to use altitude & direction to find in the sky

The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like near the maximum point. The curvature of the Moon's path is due to the Earth's rotation.
