9:13 pm Wed, Jun 15	Rising	Moonrise Rising, but the combination of a very low moon and the total eclipse phase will make the moon so dim that it will be extremely difficult to view until moon gets higher in the sky or the total phase ends.	125°	-0.2°
9:22 pm Wed, Jun 15		Total Eclipse begins Total moon eclipse starts - completely red moon. Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point. Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see.	127°	0.8°

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.

This total lunar eclipse was fully visible in Herisau. The total lunar eclipse is sometimes called a blood moon, as the Moon turns red.
