Last lunar eclipse on October 28: Will it be visible in Pakistan?

October has given us some truly breathtaking sky displays as this weekend the moon will put on a spectacular show in the form of a partial lunar eclipse.

Next weekend, the moon will pass into the shadow of the Earth, triggering a partial lunar eclipse.

It will be visible from Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, North America, North/East South America, Pacific, Atlantic, Indian Ocean, Arctic and Antarctica.

Beginning on Saturday, Oct. 28, and stretching into Sunday, Oct. 29, the partial lunar will occur during October’s full moon, the Hunter’s Moon.

This is only a partial lunar eclipse because the Earth, the moon, and the sun will not perfectly align.

Will it be visible in Pakistan?

The partial lunar eclipse will also be visible in Pakistan.

The Met Office said Penumbral Eclipse will begin 23:02 PST on 28th October while partial eclipse will start at 00-35 PST on October 29.

It added that partial eclipse will end at 01:53 PST on 29th October and Penumbral eclipse ending at 03:26 PST on 29th October.

What is Lunar eclipse?

When the earth is between the sun and the moon, it causes Lunar Eclipses by casting a shadow on the moon’s surface. They are an interesting sight to watch because they can only occur during a full moon.

The partial eclipse ends when the moon moves out of the umbra, passing back into the penumbra and a second penumbral eclipse stage, occurring at 2052 GMT (4:52 p.m. EDT) on Oct. 28.

If you miss this partial eclipse, the moon will once again pass into the shadow of Earth on Sept. 17, 2024.
