You can read the table above as follows: On January 10, 2020 in New Brunswick, America/Moncton (UTC -4), an penumbral lunar eclipse will start at 13:08, the maximum eclipse will occur at 15:10 when the Moon reaches an altitud of -13°;this event will come to an end at 17:12 and will have a penumbral magnitud of 0.896 (this is the fraction of the Moon obscured by the entrance to The Earth's penumbra) and an umbral magnitud of -0.116 (fraction of the Moon obscured by the umbra of The Earth).

We must take into account the altitude of the moon, for example, in New Brunswick, due to the low altitude of the Moon (-13 degrees) this lunar eclipse will not be very obvious.
