Partial lunar eclipse visible in Arab sky
Earlier today, the Arab world and other regions around the globe experienced a partial lunar eclipse. During this event, most of the Moon's disk—approximately 93%—entered Earth's shadow as it approached the stage of a total eclipse, giving it the appearance of a reddish disk on the horizon. The partial phase of the eclipse began at 5:33 AM Saudi time. Cities such as Cairo and Jeddah in Egypt clearly observed the phenomenon, as sunlight passing through Earth's atmosphere caused the Moon's color to turn to shades of copper or faint red. A partial eclipse occurs when part of the Moon passes through Earth's shadow, making it an observable astronomical event when weather conditions are favorable. This event followed similar astronomical phenomena previously witnessed in the region.
