Detailed view

Time	Event	Direction	Altitude
18:33:48 Wed, Aug 12	Partial eclipse begins The moment the edge of the Moon touches the edge of the Sun is called first contact.	272°	20.6°
19:30:20 Wed, Aug 12	Totality begins The moment the edge of the Moon covers all of the Sun is called second contact.	281°	10.0°
19:30:28 Wed, Aug 12	Maximum eclipse The deepest point of the eclipse, with the Sun at its most hidden.	281°	10.1°
19:30:38 Wed, Aug 12	Totality ends The moment the edge of the Moon exposes the Sun is called third contact.	281°	10.1°
20:23:31 Wed, Aug 12	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 WNW for the best view of the eclipse.	290°	0.9°

* Timings for the beginning & end of partial eclipse, the beginning & end of totality, and maximum eclipse are accurate to within a few seconds. This calculation uses a Delta T value of 69.6 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.
