A rare lunar eclipse will take place late Thursday night and continue into the early hours of Friday, August 28, offering skywatchers in several parts of the world an opportunity to witness the celestial event.
The eclipse will be visible from regions where the Moon is above the horizon during the event. However, visibility will vary depending on the location and local weather conditions.
Astronomy enthusiasts are advised to find an open area with minimal light pollution for the best viewing experience.
Unlike a solar eclipse, a lunar eclipse can be observed safely with the naked eye, without special protective equipment.
The event is expected to attract considerable interest among skywatchers as lunar eclipses are relatively infrequent and provide a striking view of the Moon as it passes through Earth’s shadow.
