| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3時32分 5月16日 (月) | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  209° | 14.7° | |
| 4時27分 5月16日 (月) | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. | 221° | 9.6° | |
| 5時29分 5月16日 (月) | Total Eclipse begins Total moon eclipse starts - completely red moon. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to Southwest. | 233° | 2.7° | |
| 5時50分 5月16日 (月) | Maximum in Brussels This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Brussels. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Brussels 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. | 237° | 0.2° | |
| 5時55分 5月16日 (月) | Setting | Moonset Setting, but the combination of a very low moon and the total eclipse phase makes the Moon so dim before it sets, that it might disappear from view some time before it sets. | 238° | -0.2° |
| 6時11分 5月16日 (月) | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 241° | -2.2° |
| 6時53分 5月16日 (月) | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse ends Below horizon | 248° | -9.0° |
| 7時55分 5月16日 (月) | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 259° | -18.0° |
| 8時50分 5月16日 (月) | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 269° | -26.5° |
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.
