The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has announced that a “Blood Moon” — a total lunar eclipse where the Moon turns red — will be visible in Pakistan on the night between September 7 and 8.
A Blood Moon occurs when the Earth blocks sunlight from reaching the Moon, and the only light that bends through Earth’s atmosphere gives the Moon its reddish color.
According to PMD, the eclipse will begin at 8:28 pm on September 7, reach its peak at 11:12 pm, and end after 1:55 am on September 8. The entire event will last 5 hours and 27 minutes.
The lunar eclipse will be visible not only in Pakistan but also across Asia, Europe, Africa, Australia, the Pacific, parts of western North America, and eastern South America. Countries such as India, Bangladesh, China, Japan, and Saudi Arabia will also witness the spectacle.
