Jordan experiences early Friday lunar eclipse
Jordan will witness a partial lunar eclipse early Friday morning, with its initial phases and part of the partial stage visible before the moon sets in the western horizon. At its peak, the eclipse will cover about 96.2% of the moon globally, but this maximum will not be visible from Jordan as it occurs after moonset. The penumbral eclipse begins in Amman at 4:23 AM, progressing to a partial eclipse at 5:33 AM, during which part of the moon's disk will gradually disappear, accompanied by increased darkness and a reddish hue in the shadowed areas. The maximum viewing point will be around 6:07 AM when the moon is very low on the horizon, making it difficult to observe the final stages of the phenomenon. To watch the eclipse, it is necessary to have an open space with a clear view of the western and south-western sky, avoiding natural obstacles and buildings, as the moon will be in the constellation Aquarius near the ascending node of its orbit.
