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

Time	Phase	Event	Direction	Altitude
4:44 am Tue, Mar 3		Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face.	258°	19.7°
5:50 am Tue, Mar 3		Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to West.	270°	8.6°
6:40 am Tue, Mar 3		Maximum in East Point This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in East Point. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in East Point 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.	278°	0.4°
6:45 am Tue, Mar 3	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.	279°	-0.2°
7:04 am Tue, Mar 3	Not directly visible	Total Eclipse begins Below horizon	282°	-4.0°
7:33 am Tue, Mar 3	Not directly visible	Maximum Eclipse Below horizon	288°	-8.9°
8:02 am Tue, Mar 3	Not directly visible	Total Eclipse ends Below horizon	293°	-13.5°
9:17 am Tue, Mar 3	Not directly visible	Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon	308°	-24.4°
10:23 am Tue, Mar 3	Not directly visible	Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon	323°	-32.2°

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 81% of the time (since 2000).
