How to use altitude & direction to find in the sky

The curvature of the shadow's path and the apparent rotation of the Moon's disk is due to the Earth's rotation.

This total lunar eclipse was fully visible in Dumont d'Urville Station. The total lunar eclipse is sometimes called a blood moon, as the Moon turns red.
