Astronomical Research Director on Lunar Eclipses
The phenomenon of the lunar eclipse occurs naturally as a result of the Moon's movements around the Earth and its position relative to the Sun. It happens when the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, blocking part of the Sun's light from reaching the Moon. During the partial eclipse observed in Egypt in August 2026, approximately 93% of the Moon's disk was covered in some areas, with the obscured portion reaching 46% in Egypt. The eclipse typically lasts from about 5:34 to 6:29 in the morning and can be safely viewed with the naked eye, unlike solar eclipses which require special glasses to prevent damage. It is also expected that the world will witness a total solar eclipse on August 2, 2027, lasting over 6 minutes, attracting many astronomers and enthusiasts.
