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

Time	Phase	Event	Direction	Altitude
3:57 am Fri, Mar 14		Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face.	239°	23.0°
5:09 am Fri, Mar 14		Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red.	254°	13.4°
6:26 am Fri, Mar 14		Total Eclipse begins Total moon eclipse starts - completely red moon. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to West.	270°	2.8°
6:44 am Fri, Mar 14		Maximum in Ballymena This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Ballymena. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Ballymena 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 for the best view of the eclipse.	273°	0.4°
6:49 am Fri, Mar 14	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.	274°	-0.2°
6:58 am Fri, Mar 14	Not directly visible	Maximum Eclipse Below horizon	276°	-1.3°
7:31 am Fri, Mar 14	Not directly visible	Total Eclipse ends Below horizon	282°	-6.8°
8:47 am Fri, Mar 14	Not directly visible	Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon	298°	-17.0°
10:00 am Fri, Mar 14	Not directly visible	Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon	315°	-25.2°

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 88% of the time (since 2000).
