What is a Total Lunar Eclipse?
A total lunar eclipse happens when the Earth comes directly between the Sun and the Moon, blocking sunlight and casting its shadow on the Moon’s surface. During this event, the Moon may appear dim or even reddish in color, often referred to as a “Blood Moon.” Unlike solar eclipses, lunar eclipses are safe to view with the naked eye.
What to Expect During the Eclipse
If you are planning to watch the total lunar eclipse in Pakistan, here’s what you can expect:
- Partial Shadow: The Moon will slowly begin to darken from one side.
- Maximum Eclipse: At 1:55 AM, a large portion of the Moon will appear dark.
- Gradual Exit: The Moon will slowly return to its normal brightness as it moves out of Earth’s shadow.
The entire event will last several hours, giving everyone plenty of time to enjoy the view.
