Partial lunar eclipse seen in Jordan at dawn
The sky over Jordan witnessed a deep partial lunar eclipse early this morning, as observers tracked the visible phases using telescopes, cameras, and time-lapse photography, capturing the movement and progression of the eclipse over a period of one hour and forty minutes. The observation began at 4:10 AM and continued until 5:50 AM, with the maximum coverage of the Moon’s surface by Earth's shadow reaching approximately 96.2%. However, this peak was not visible from Jordan due to the Moon’s proximity to the horizon before the eclipse was complete. The eclipse was part of Saros Series 138 and was one of the most prominent astronomical phenomena observable from the country this year. Its timing aligned with the pre-calculated astronomical predictions made by the Jordanian Astronomical Society.
