Skywatchers await for a lunar eclipse, referred as a “Super Blood Wolf Moon”

The super blood wolf moon of 2019 will take place late on January 20th or January 21st, depending upon your time zone.

According to National Geographic, the lunar eclipse will begin at 11:41 p.m. EST on January 20th and is expected to last for 62 minutes. Partial eclipses leading up to and following the total eclipse mean the entire event will last 3.5 hours.

People will be able to witness the full event, as entire eclipse will be visible from North and South America, as well as parts of western Europe (including the UK) and North Africa.

Total lunar eclipses occur when the moon moves into perfect alignment with the sun and earth, giving it a “blood” appearance to those watching from below.

A “super” moon occurs when the moon is especially close to earth. According to The Farmer’s Almanac, “wolf moon” is the traditional name for the full moon of January, when the howling of wolves was a sound that helped define winter.

According to various websites, as many as 2.8 billion people are expected to see this weekend’s eclipse from the Western Hemisphere, Europe, West Africa, and northernmost Russia.

In Pakistan, this is the year’s second lunar eclipse will take place according to local time at 7:35 am to 12:45 pm Monday.
