Karachi skywatchers get ready for a breathtaking celestial event! A spectacular ‘blood moon’ lunar eclipse will grace the skies above Karachi University tomorrow, offering a rare treat for astronomy enthusiasts and casual stargazers alike. The eclipse is expected to begin at 10:31pm and will continue until 11:53pm on Sunday, giving observers over an hour to witness the moon’s dramatic transformation.
What is a Blood Moon?
During a total lunar eclipse, the Earth comes between the sun and the moon, causing the Earth’s shadow to fall on the moon. This shadow gives the moon a striking reddish hue, commonly known as a ‘blood moon’. The phenomenon is safe to view with the naked eye, and the best viewing spots are open areas with minimal light pollution, such as the grounds of Karachi University.
How to Get the Best View
Experts suggest arriving early to secure a good vantage point and bringing along a telescope or binoculars for an even more detailed look at the lunar surface. Don’t miss this chance to witness one of nature’s most beautiful displays and capture some stunning photographs.
