The timings of the phases of the overall eclipse worldwide are as follows. In any particular place it would have been seen for a significantly shorter duration as the shadow moved across the Earth:
Partial eclipse began: | 08:02:05 UT |
Maximum eclipse: | 09:46:15 UT |
Partial eclipse ended: | 11:30:39 UT |
During this eclipse the Sun was 0.526° in apparent diameter, 1.3% smaller than average. The Moon was at perigee, making it fairly large. At maximum eclipse it was 0.555° in apparent diameter, which is 4.6% larger than average. This has no real effect on this eclipse, since the Moon's central shadow misses the Earth, making this a partial eclipse. The statistics page has information on the ranges of the sizes of the Sun and Moon.

https://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse.html are in the TDT timescale.
The Sun and Moon distances are shown in km, and as a percentage of their minimum - maximum distances; hence 0% is the closest possible (Earth's perihelion, or the Moon's closest possible perigee) and 100% is the farthest (aphelion, the farthest apogee). The statistics page has information on the ranges of sizes of the Sun and Moon.
