Partial lunar eclipse visible in Jordan
Jordan will experience a partial lunar eclipse on Friday dawn, August 28, 2026, which can be observed from the eastern part of the kingdom before moonset. During this event, up to 96.2% of the lunar disk will be covered by Earth's shadow worldwide; however, the scene will not be visible from Jordan due to the moon setting before the eclipse's peak. The eclipse will begin at 4:23 a.m. local time, reach its maximum at 6:07 a.m., and conclude at 8:51 a.m. Observers expect the eclipse to be clearly visible between the start of the penumbral phase and its peak, while the total eclipse will not be visible from the area. An eclipse occurs when the moon passes into Earth's shadow, ranging from a partial eclipse, where only part of the moon is covered, to a total eclipse, where the moon is entirely enveloped.
