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

Time	Phase	Event	Direction	Altitude
3:34 am Tue, Jun 26		Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face.	211°	21.4°
4:32 am Tue, Jun 26		Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red.	223°	14.7°
5:31 am Tue, Jun 26		Total Eclipse begins Total moon eclipse starts - completely red moon. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to Southwest.	233°	6.4°
6:12 am Tue, Jun 26		Maximum in Sparta This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Sparta. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Sparta 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.	239°	0.2°
6:15 am Tue, Jun 26	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.	240°	-0.2°
6:22 am Tue, Jun 26	Not directly visible	Maximum Eclipse Below horizon	241°	-1.0°
7:13 am Tue, Jun 26	Not directly visible	Total Eclipse ends Below horizon	248°	-10.6°
8:11 am Tue, Jun 26	Not directly visible	Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon	255°	-21.2°
9:09 am Tue, Jun 26	Not directly visible	Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon	263°	-32.0°

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 14% of the time (since 2000).
