The International Astronomy Center said in a statement today that the world will witness a Friday "semi-shadow eclipse partially" of the moon and will be seen from most of the world except for the Americas, but it will not be observed with the naked eye.

Eng. Mohamed Shawkat Odeh, Director of the International Astronomy Center, said: In general, people will not feel the eclipse because it is a partial eclipse rather than a shadow eclipse. The eclipse will start with the will of God at 09:46 pm and will reach its climax at 11:25 pm and will end at 01:00: 04 am Emirates time / 57% of the diameter of the moon’s disk will be lost from the moon and sharp eyesight may notice a slight difference in the moon’s lighting around the peak time.

"A semi-shadow eclipse differs from the normal eclipse in terms of the moon's shape and luminosity at the time of the eclipse."

When an eclipse is semi-shade, the moon does not enter in the full shadow of the earth, but rather it enters a region called semi-shadow. In this region, part of the sun’s rays remains connected to the moon, and therefore the moon does not completely disappear at the time of the eclipse, but its illumination only decreases and since 57% of The lunar disk will enter the semi-shadow area in this eclipse, some parts of the moon will be close to the earth’s shadow, and this part of the lunar disk will be opaque than others. Thus, the moon at the time of the peak of the eclipse will be in the form of a disc part of it that doesn’t appear eclipse while another section It will be opaque in a way that is difficult to notice with the naked eye.
