Partial lunar eclipse will be visible across parts of Canadian skies soon
The eclipse is set to peak around 10:10 p.m. mountain time and 12:10 a.m. eastern standard time and is expected to be most visible in both the central and eastern parts of Canada.
A partial lunar eclipse will be visible across parts of Canadian skies soon, according to Dr. William Archer from the Canadian Space Agency (CSA). The eclipse will be most noticeable from Thursday night into Friday, with around 93 or 94 per cent of the moon obscured. Only a small sliver, approximately seven per cent, will remain visible.
Dr. Archer emphasizes that there is no need for protective eyewear, as the eclipse is no more dangerous than looking at the moon itself. The eclipse is set to peak at 10:10 p.m. mountain time and 12:10 a.m. eastern time. It occurs when the Moon partially crosses Earth's umbra, taking about six hours to complete. On average, Canada experiences two lunar eclipses per year, though up to five can occur in a single year. The next total lunar eclipse visible in Canada is expected to happen in late 2028.
