Upcoming Friday Partial Lunar Eclipse
Jordan will witness a partial lunar eclipse early on Friday, August 28, which can be observed before the moon sets in the western horizon. At its peak, approximately 96.2% of the moon's disk will be covered by Earth's shadow, but the peak will not be visible from Jordan since it occurs after the moon has set. The eclipse begins partially at 4:23 AM and reaches its maximum at 6:07 AM, when the moon is very low at just 0.2 degrees above the horizon in the west and southwest. The event continues until it ends at 8:51 AM. An eclipse occurs when the moon passes through Earth's shadow, which consists of the penumbra and the umbra. A partial eclipse happens when a part of the moon enters Earth's full shadow (the umbra), while a total eclipse occurs when the entire disk is immersed in the umbra.
