Don't miss the scene... a rare event awaits Jordan's skies tomorrow evening, Sunday.

Arab Weather - The skies over Jordan and around the world will witness a rare total lunar eclipse on Sunday evening. The eclipse begins at moonrise and lasts for approximately five hours and eight minutes in all phases, making it one of the longest eclipses in recent years, according to Ammar Al-Sakaji, president of the Jordanian Astronomical Society.

Dr. Ammar Al-Sakaji, president of the Jordanian Astronomical Society, explained in a press release that the eclipse's peak will occur at 9:11 p.m. Jordan time, when the moon will be at its deepest point within the Earth's shadow, draped in a stunning copper-red hue for 82 minutes. He noted that Jordanians will be able to clearly observe most of the eclipse's phases, especially the total phase, which extends from 8:30 p.m. to 9:52 p.m.

He explained that the eclipse phases begin with the moon entering the partial shadow at 7:27 p.m., then its full entry into the shadow at 8:30 p.m., marking the start of the total eclipse. The phenomenon reaches its peak at 9:11 p.m., before the moon gradually begins to emerge. The total phase ends at 9:52 p.m., and the moon fully exits the shadow at 10:56 p.m.

The Jordanian Astronomical Society invited the public to participate in an observation event at the Sports City (Gate No. 3 near the Martyr's Monument) for photography and observation starting at 7:00 PM, where astronomical equipment will be provided for photography and observation, in addition to a live broadcast on social media platforms and media outlets to display the stages of the eclipse.
