On Tuesday, November 8, UAE skygazers will be able to witness a penumbral lunar eclipse and a blood moon.
A total lunar eclipse will be visible in many parts of the world,
but not in the UAE.
There will be a total eclipse in Dubai at 2:16 pm and it will end at 3:41 pm below the horizon. Due to this,
we cannot see the full phase of the lunar eclipse from Dubai.
At 5:33 pm the Moon rises in Dubai at 0.2 degrees below the flat horizon and the Moon is entirely above the horizon in Dubai at 5:36 pm when the eclipse achieves its maximum intensity. As a result,
Dubai may only see a penumbral lunar eclipse, which lasts until 5:58 pm.
According to Nasa, after today's eclipse, the
next total lunar eclipse will not be repeated until March 14, 2025.
