Why do lunar eclipses happen repeatedly
Egypt experienced a partial lunar eclipse that lasted from 5:34 AM to 6:29 AM, during which approximately 46% of the Moon's disc was covered at minimum, with some areas witnessing coverage up to 93%. The Director of the National Institute for Astronomical Research explained that lunar eclipses are a natural phenomenon resulting from the Moon's orbit around the Earth and the alignment of the Sun, Earth, and Moon at certain angles. This occurs when the Earth is positioned directly between the Sun and the Moon, blocking part of the Sun’s light from reaching the Moon. He also pointed out that this phenomenon is safe to observe with the naked eye, unlike solar eclipses which require specialized glasses. The institute has prepared for this event by providing the necessary glasses for viewing the upcoming total solar eclipse expected on August 2, 2027. The eclipse will last for more than six minutes and is expected to attract many astronomy enthusiasts to Egypt, especially the city of Luxor.
