Maximum in Madrid This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Madrid. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Madrid 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 West-southwest for the best view of the eclipse.		Map direction West-southwest 237°

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 partial lunar eclipse, the Earth's shadow covered only parts of the Moon, as seen from Madrid. There were no other locations on Earth where the Moon appeared completely covered during this event.

Cloud Coverage (Jun 15)

In the past, this day was cloudy 39% of the time (since 2000).
