4:33 pm Wed, Jan 31		Maximum in Rakvere This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Rakvere. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Rakvere 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-northeast for the best view of the eclipse.	56°	0.2°
5:11 pm Wed, Jan 31		Partial Eclipse ends Partial moon eclipse ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East-northeast.	64°	3.8°
6:08 pm Wed, Jan 31		Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends.	75°	10.2°

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 Rakvere, but it could be observed there as a partial lunar eclipse.
