A lunar eclipse happens when the Earth comes between the Moon and the Sun, blocking sunrays, and the moon comes to pass the Earth’s shadow. This phenomenon happens in the middle of the month on the lunar calendar when the moon is at its fullest. The year 2011 witnessed four solar eclipses and one lunar eclipses, today being the second.
Kuwait meteorologists Al-Saadoun told KUNA, the eclipse would start with moon rise at 4:45 p.m. and last till 8:00 p.m. It is not a central eclipse and we would see some sunlight on the bottom side, and this would be the last eclipse this year. (Source: KUNA)
