With regards to the Eclipse of the Moon post, do take note of the following time :

Penang: 7:28 pm
Kuala Lumpur: 7:21 pm
Johor Baru: 7:11 pm
Kota Baru: 7:21 pm
Kuching: 6:44 pm
Kota Kinabalu: 6:23 pm

This are the times whereby, we are able to see the eclipse. However, we will not be experiencing the full eclipse but just a partial eclipse. If we had a full eclipse, this is what should happen during the lunar eclipse phase :

Eclipse Contacts (local time):
Partial eclipse begins: 16:51
Total eclipse begins: 17:52
Greatest totality: 18:37
Total eclipse ends: 19:22
Partial eclipse ends: 20:23

Quoting Chieh of Stargazer. “This lunar eclipse is not favourable for us in Malaysia, although the eclipse time is more favourable for Sabah and Sarawak where moonrise time is much earlier. We can only see the ending of the eclipse, when the Moon rises after sunset with totality just finishing. The Moon rises as it’s on its way leaving the Earth’s shadow. So what we will see is “section by section” of the Moon “coming” back.”

Do take note that the following information has been gathered from Stargazer Scientific
