Deep partial eclipse turns Moon red
The sky of the world witnessed a partial lunar eclipse at dawn tomorrow, Friday, which is approaching a total eclipse. About 93% of the Moon's disk entered Earth's shadow, giving it a reddish, copper-like hue. The eclipse was scheduled to begin in Oman at the penumbral phase at 5:24 AM, followed by the partial phase at 6:34 AM, reaching its peak at 8:13 AM, with all phases concluding by 11:02 AM. This eclipse is one of the deepest partial lunar eclipses in recent years, as the Moon nears full immersion into Earth's shadow, allowing the dark copper color to be clearly seen in areas where viewing is possible. However, visibility in Oman was limited due to the Moon setting before the partial phase began. It is recommended to observe from open, unobstructed locations. The eclipse is safe to watch directly or through binoculars.
