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

Time	Phase	Event	Direction	Altitude
3:23 am Fri, Aug 28		Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face.	247°	23.4°
4:33 am Fri, Aug 28		Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to West-southwest.	255°	8.6°
5:14 am Fri, Aug 28		Maximum in Jabal Shallāl This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Jabal Shallāl. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Jabal Shallāl 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.	259°	0.2°
5:16 am Fri, Aug 28	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.	259°	-0.2°
6:12 am Fri, Aug 28	Not directly visible	Maximum Eclipse Below horizon	264°	-13.2°
7:51 am Fri, Aug 28	Not directly visible	Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon	274°	-35.2°
9:01 am Fri, Aug 28	Not directly visible	Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon	283°	-50.5°

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 8% of the time (since 2000).
