The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below.

Time	Phase	Event	Direction	Altitude
2:27 am Tue, May 24		Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face.	230°	35.9°
3:40 am Tue, May 24		Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red.	239°	21.8°
5:03 am Tue, May 24		Total Eclipse begins Total moon eclipse starts - completely red moon. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to West-southwest.	246°	4.3°
5:22 am Tue, May 24		Maximum in Douna Fèndouya This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Douna Fèndouya. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Douna Fèndouya 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.	248°	0.4°
5:26 am Tue, May 24	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.	248°	-0.2°
5:27 am Tue, May 24	Not directly visible	Maximum Eclipse Below horizon	248°	-0.5°
5:52 am Tue, May 24	Not directly visible	Total Eclipse ends Below horizon	249°	-6.6°
7:15 am Tue, May 24	Not directly visible	Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon	252°	-25.0°
8:28 am Tue, May 24	Not directly visible	Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon	254°	-41.2°

The curvature of the shadow's path and the apparent rotation of the Moon's disk is due to the Earth's rotation.

In the past, this day was cloudy 31% of the time (since 2000).
