Time	Phase	Event	Direction	Altitude
2:47 am Wed, May 26		Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face.	233°	32.7°

5:11 am Wed, May 26		Total Eclipse begins Total moon eclipse starts - completely red moon. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to West-southwest.	247°	3.2°
5:18 am Wed, May 26		Maximum Eclipse Moon is closest to the center of the shadow. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to West-southwest. Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see.	247°	1.8°
5:25 am Wed, May 26		Total Eclipse ends Total moon eclipse ends. 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. Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see.	248°	0.4°
5:29 am Wed, May 26	Setting	Moonset Setting	248°	-0.2°
6:52 am Wed, May 26	Not directly visible	Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon	252°	-19.1°
7:49 am Wed, May 26	Not directly visible	Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon	253°	-31.8°

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 74% of the time (since 2000).
