Jeddah, September (پاکستان پوائنٹ نیوز 08 سبتمبر 2025ء) The phases of the partial eclipse began as the moon gradually entered the Earth's shadow before transforming into a total eclipse that lasted for hours, providing a golden opportunity to observe the event with the naked eye, as well as through telescopes and astrophotography cameras.
Head of the Jeddah Astronomy Society Eng. Majed Abu Zahra explained that the red color acquired by the moon during the eclipse occurs as sunlight is refracted through the Earth's atmosphere, where shorter blue wavelengths are scattered. Longer red and orange wavelengths reach the moon.
This eclipse is part of a series of astronomical events visible in the Kingdom's skies this year, serving as a reminder of the importance of observing natural phenomena for the knowledge and deeper understanding they offer about the universe around us.
