Time	Event	Direction	Altitude
05:23:33 Sat, Mar 29	Partial eclipse begins The moment the edge of the Moon touches the edge of the Sun is called first contact. Below Horizon	70°	-16.8°
06:48:51 Sat, Mar 29	Sunrise The sun is rising.	85°	-0.3°
06:51:39 Sat, Mar 29	Maximum eclipse The deepest point of the eclipse, with the Sun at its most hidden. 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 E for the best view of the eclipse.	85°	0.2°
07:03:49 Sat, Mar 29	Partial eclipse ends The edge of the Moon leaves the edge of the Sun. The Sun is close to the horizon, so make sure you have free sight to the E.	87°	2.2°

How to use altitude & direction to find in the sky
