| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2:45 pm Wed, Oct 8 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon |  66° | -41.1° |
| 3:44 pm Wed, Oct 8 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse begins Below horizon | 73° | -28.3° |
| 4:55 pm Wed, Oct 8 | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse begins Below horizon | 79° | -12.5° |
| 5:24 pm Wed, Oct 8 | Not directly visible | Maximum Eclipse Below horizon | 81° | -5.8° |
| 5:46 pm Wed, Oct 8 | Rising | Moonrise Rising, but the combination of a very low moon and the total eclipse phase will make the moon so dim that it will be extremely difficult to view until moon gets higher in the sky or the total phase ends. | 83° | -0.2° |
| 5:53 pm Wed, Oct 8 | Total Eclipse ends Total moon eclipse ends. Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point. Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see. | 83° | 1.3° | |
| 5:58 pm Wed, Oct 8 | Maximum in Yangon This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Yangon. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Yangon because the Moon is below the horizon at that time. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East. | 84° | 2.2° | |
| 7:04 pm Wed, Oct 8 | Partial Eclipse ends Partial moon eclipse ends. | 88° | 17.3° | |
| 8:03 pm Wed, Oct 8 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. | 92° | 31.1° |
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 Yangon, but it could be observed there as a partial lunar eclipse. The Earth's shadow covered a large portion of the Moon, so this was still a nice sight.
Cloud Coverage (Oct 8)
In the past, this day was cloudy 84% of the time (since 2000).
