Maximum in Lausanne This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Lausanne. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Lausanne 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 Southwest for the best view of the eclipse.		Map direction Southwest 235°

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 Lausanne. There were no other locations on Earth where the Moon appeared completely covered during this event.

Cloud Coverage (Jul 15)

In the past, this day was cloudy 50% of the time (since 2000).
