7:37 pm Thu, Jul 6		Maximum in Farato This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Farato. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Farato because the Moon is below the horizon at that time. Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point.	114°	1.3°
8:55 pm Thu, Jul 6		Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends.	120°	17.4°

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