A partial lunar eclipse will be visible tomorrow, September 18, across Europe, most of Asia, Africa, North and South America, the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans, as well as the North and South Poles, according to the TASS news agency.
This eclipse is classified as partial because only a portion of the moon's disk will be obscured by the Earth's shadow, and the total duration of the event will span approximately 4.5 hours.
Lunar and solar eclipses occur approximately every six months, with a two-week interval between them. During these alignments, the sun, Earth, and moon form a straight line. If the moon is positioned in the middle, a solar eclipse is observed; conversely, when the Earth is in the center, a lunar eclipse takes place.
