Maximum in Santiago This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Santiago. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Santiago because the Moon is below the horizon at that time.
Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point.		Map direction West-southwest 246°

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.

During this penumbral lunar eclipse, the Earth's main shadow did not cover the Moon. As the Earth's shadow (umbra) misses the Moon during a penumbral lunar eclipse, there were no other locations on Earth where the Moon appeared partially or totally eclipsed during this event. 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.

Cloud Coverage (Jul 17)
