Rare Total Lunar Eclipse to Grace Arab Skies in September

Rare Total Lunar Eclipse to Grace Arab Skies in September
……………..

A rare total lunar eclipse is set to occur on September 7, 2025, visible across the Arab world, astronomy groups reported. During the event, the full moon will gradually enter Earth’s shadow, turning a reddish-copper or orange hue, offering a striking spectacle for skywatchers and astronomy enthusiasts.

The eclipse occurs when the moon passes directly through the Earth’s umbra, temporarily blocking its usual white glow. Observers across the region are expected to witness the phenomenon clearly, making it one of the most anticipated celestial events of the year.

Religious authorities also note that Muslims may perform the “Salat al-Ayat” (Prayer of the Signs) at the onset of such eclipses, following traditional guidelines for the ritual, which involves a specific sequence of recitations, bowing, and prostrations.
