Muscat - A total lunar eclipse will be observed in the skies of the Sultanate of Oman tomorrow, Thursday 13 March 2025, the first phenomenon of its kind in 2025. The eclipse will begin partially at 9:09 am, local time, while the total eclipse will start at 10:26 am and continues until 11:31 am.
Ahmed Mohammed Al Khalidi, member of the Oman Society of Astronomy and Space (OSAS), said that not all residents of the Sultanate of Oman will be able to observe the progression of the lunar eclipse, since the moon will set in Muscat Governorate at 5:45 a.m., well before the start of the penumbral shadow.
Al Khalidi pointed out that the lunar eclipse can be seen in all areas where it is nighttime, but some observers will see it better than others. The eclipse will be visible in large parts of Australia, Africa, Europe, the Americas, Antarctica and the Arctic.
