Penumbral Eclipse beginsThe Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face.
Maximum in AbidjanThis is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Abidjan. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Abidjan because the Moon is below the horizon at that time. Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point.

Setting
MoonsetSetting, 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.
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 Abidjan, but it can be observed there as a partial lunar eclipse. The Earth's shadow covers a large portion of the Moon, so this is still a nice sight.
