The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like in King Edward Point. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times are local time (GST) for King Edward Point.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 17時42分 12月20日 (木) | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon |  82° | -24.5° |
| 18時55分 12月20日 (木) | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse begins Below horizon | 69° | -14.6° |
| 20時15分 12月20日 (木) | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse begins Below horizon | 54° | -4.7° |
| 20時42分 12月20日 (木) | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 49° | -0.9° |
| 20時50分 12月20日 (木) | 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. | 47° | -0.2° |
| 20時56分 12月20日 (木) | Maximum in King Edward Point This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in King Edward Point. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in King Edward Point 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 Northeast for the best view of the eclipse. | 46° | 0.3° | |
| 21時08分 12月20日 (木) | Total Eclipse ends Total moon eclipse ends. 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. | 43° | 1.4° | |
| 22時28分 12月20日 (木) | Partial Eclipse ends Partial moon eclipse ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to North-northeast. | 27° | 7.8° | |
| 23時41分 12月20日 (木) | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. | 11° | 11.2° |
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.
