The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like in Beirut. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times are local time (EEST) for Beirut.

Time	Phase	Event	Direction	Altitude
4:32 am Mon, May 16		Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face.	237°	10.7°
5:27 am Mon, May 16		Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point.	245°	1.1°
5:33 am Mon, May 16		Maximum in Beirut This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Beirut. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Beirut 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.	246°	0.2°
5:36 am Mon, May 16	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.	246°	-0.2°
6:29 am Mon, May 16	Not directly visible	Total Eclipse begins Below horizon	253°	-10.9°

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.
