Maximum in CairnsThis is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Cairns. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Cairns 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 for the best view of the eclipse.

Partial Eclipse endsPartial moon eclipse ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East.
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 is not visible in Cairns, but it can be observed there as a partial lunar eclipse. The Earth's shadow covers only a small portion of the Moon.
