The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like in Creighton. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times are local time (CST) for Creighton.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 08 h 03 dim 31 déc | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to West-northwest. | 7.7° | ||
| 09 h 07 dim 31 déc | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point. | 0.7° | ||
| 09 h 13 dim 31 déc | Maximum in Creighton This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Creighton.

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 Northwest for the best view of the eclipse. | 0.2° | ||
| 09 h 18 dim 31 déc | 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. | -0.2° | |
