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

Time	Event	Direction	Altitude
04:58:19 Mon, Mar 20	Partial eclipse begins The moment the edge of the Moon touches the edge of the Sun is called first contact. Below Horizon	96°	-14.6°
05:58:30 Mon, Mar 20	Sunrise The sun is rising.	90°	0.0°
06:00:50 Mon, Mar 20	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.	90°	0.1°
06:14:09 Mon, Mar 20	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.	89°	3.1°

* Timings for the beginning & end of partial eclipse and maximum eclipse are accurate to within a few seconds. This calculation uses a Delta T value of 71.3 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.
