Detailed view

Time	Event	Direction	Altitude
15:18:46 Sat, Jul 22	Partial eclipse begins The moment the edge of the Moon touches the edge of the Sun is called first contact.	317°	18.2°
16:23:42 Sat, Jul 22	Maximum eclipse The deepest point of the eclipse, with the Sun at its most hidden. The Sun is close to the horizon, so make sure you have free sight to the NW.	304°	8.6°
17:18:29 Sat, Jul 22	Sunset The sun is setting.	295°	-0.2°
17:23:05 Sat, Jul 22	Partial eclipse ends The edge of the Moon leaves the edge of the Sun. 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 WNW for the best view of the eclipse.	295°	-1.0°
