| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4:36 am Mon, Jan 21 | Penumbral Eclipse begins The Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. |  293° | 18.4° | |
| 5:33 am Mon, Jan 21 | Partial Eclipse begins Partial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to West-northwest. | 291° | 5.8° | |
| 5:54 am Mon, Jan 21 | Maximum in Gitega This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Gitega. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Gitega because the Moon is below the horizon at that time. Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point. | 290° | 1.3° | |
| 6:02 am Mon, Jan 21 | 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. | 290° | -0.2° |
| 6:41 am Mon, Jan 21 | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse begins Below horizon | 290° | -9.5° |
| 7:12 am Mon, Jan 21 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 290° | -16.4° |
| 7:43 am Mon, Jan 21 | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse ends Below horizon | 290° | -23.3° |
| 8:50 am Mon, Jan 21 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse ends Below horizon | 292° | -38.2° |
| 9:48 am Mon, Jan 21 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse ends Below horizon | 297° | -50.5° |
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.
The total phase of this lunar eclipse was not visible in Gitega, but it could be observed there as a partial lunar eclipse.
Cloud Coverage (Jan 21)
