Maximum in Luang PrabangThis is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Luang Prabang. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Luang Prabang because the Moon is below the horizon at that time. Moon close to horizon, recommend going to a high point.
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 Luang Prabang, 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.
