An Eclipse on May 5
Several regions of the world will experience a total eclipse of the moon on May 5, when the full moon of Shawwal will fall in the middle of the eclipse date, according to the Al-Ajairi Scientific Center.
According to a statement to Kuwait News Agency (KUNA), the state of eclipse to which the moon is exposed will start at 6:18 pm and will last for four hours and 17 minutes, until it ends completely at 10:31 pm. He stated that the vision of the eclipse in Kuwait was expressed by Dr. Saleh Al-Ajiri, may God have mercy on him, in cases of frequent monitoring of these astronomical phenomena, that “the moon enters the shadow and is not eclipsed,” meaning that the state in which the moon will be above the sky of Kuwait is a “semi-shadow” eclipse, and in this case the moonlight becomes fading without fading.
There will be a total lunar eclipse across some continents and regions around the world, and observers will be able to see it with their naked eyes, especially since the moon will almost disappear in the shadow of the earth, and its northern disk will be visible if the weather is clear. He pointed out that the full moon of the month of Shawwal for the year 1444 AH will be completed in the middle of the eclipse phenomenon, as the moon will be full at 8:35 pm.
