Night sky enthusiasts in the kingdom are set for a rare astronomical treat this Sunday when a captivating total lunar eclipse will occur.
The Bahrain Astronomical Society, in collaboration with the Alumni Club, is organising a special public event to mark the occasion.
Starting at 6.30pm at the club’s library hall in Adliya, the gathering will feature detailed lectures on the science of eclipses, live telescope viewing, and a large-screen projection of the phenomenon as it unfolds.
The celestial show begins with partial shading at 7.30pm, while the moon will slip completely into Earth’s shadow from 8.30pm until 9.52pm, producing a breathtaking 82-minute total eclipse. The event concludes at 10pm.
