| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2:32 pm Tue, Nov 8 | Not directly visible | Penumbral Eclipse begins Below horizon |  53° | -37.5° |
| 3:39 pm Tue, Nov 8 | Not directly visible | Partial Eclipse begins Below horizon | 63° | -24.3° |
| 4:46 pm Tue, Nov 8 | Not directly visible | Total Eclipse begins Below horizon | 69° | -9.9° |
| 5:28 pm Tue, Nov 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. | 72° | -0.2° |
| 5:29 pm Tue, Nov 8 | Maximum Eclipse Moon is closest to the center of the shadow. Since the Moon is near the horizon at this time, we recommend going to a high point or finding an unobstructed area with free sight to East-northeast for the best view of the eclipse. Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see. | 72° | -0.0° | |
| 5:30 pm Tue, Nov 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. Since the Moon is near the horizon at this time, we recommend going to a high point or finding an unobstructed area with free sight to East-northeast for the best view of the eclipse. | 72° | 0.2° | |
| 6:11 pm Tue, Nov 8 | Total Eclipse ends Total moon eclipse ends. Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East-northeast. | 75° | 9.0° | |
| 7:19 pm Tue, Nov 8 | Partial Eclipse ends Partial moon eclipse ends. | 78° | 24.3° | |
| 8:26 pm Tue, Nov 8 | Penumbral Eclipse ends The Earth's penumbra ends. | 81° | 39.7° |
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.
This total lunar eclipse was fully visible in Yangon. The total lunar eclipse is sometimes called a blood moon, as the Moon turns red.
