Maximum in Oranjestad This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Oranjestad. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Oranjestad 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 East-southeast for the best view of the eclipse.		Map direction East-southeast 104°

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.

The total phase of this lunar eclipse was not visible in Oranjestad, but it could be observed there as a penumbral lunar eclipse. A penumbral lunar eclipse can be a bit hard to see as the shadowed part is only a little bit fainter than the rest of the Moon.
