Pakistan
The eclipse will not be visible in Pakistan
KARACHI (Dunya News) - The first total lunar eclipse of the year will take place on Friday.
According to the Meteorological Department, the eclipse will begin at 8:57am PST. There will be total eclipse at 11:58am and it will conclude at 3pm. During the event, the sky will be illuminated with a reddish glow.
This will be the first total lunar eclipse in nearly three years, with the last one occurring in 2022.
Due to its timing during daylight hours, the eclipse will not be visible in Pakistan. However, it will be observable in North and South America.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth moves between the Sun and the Moon, casting its shadow on the Moon. Unlike a solar eclipse, a lunar eclipse can be viewed with the naked eye without any risk to vision.
Additionally, the first solar eclipse of the year is expected on March 29, though it will not be visible in Pakistan.
