Muscat: The total lunar eclipse has started, but it will not be seen from the Sultanate of Oman and the Arab world, where the partial eclipse begins at 1:09 pm Muscat time, while the total eclipse begins at 2:16 pm and ends at 3:41 pm.
The partial eclipse ends at 4:49 pm. The eclipse will be totally over by 5:56 pm.
Today’s total lunar eclipse will be the last one for the next three years. The eclipse has begun and a partial lunar eclipse is currently visible in parts of North and South America.
A lunar eclipse happens when the Earth moves in between the Sun and the Moon, partially or completely blocking sunlight from reaching the Moon. This causes a shadow on the Moon’s surface, which is what we see from Earth.
During a total solar eclipse, some sunlight will still reach the Moon. This light will pass through the Earth’s atmosphere, where blue light will be scattered in all directions due to a phenomenon known as Rayleigh scattering. This allows the redder light to pass through and reflect off the Moon, causing it to appear reddish during the eclipse.
