The world will witness a total lunar eclipse this evening, with the total phase expected to last approximately 58 minutes. 

The peak of the eclipse will coincide with the full moon of Ramadan 1447 AH. During the event, Earth’s shadow will cover about 115.5 percent of the Moon’s surface.

According to a report by the National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics, the eclipse will be visible in regions where the Moon is above the horizon at the time it occurs.

These regions include Eastern Europe, Asia, Australia, North America, South America, the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Arctic, and Antarctica. The phenomenon will not be visible in Egypt.

The eclipse will last approximately 5 hours and 39 minutes from beginning to end. The partial phases, from the start of the first partial eclipse to the end of the second partial eclipse, will continue for about 3 hours and 27 minutes.
