Nigeria
is set to experience a red moon on September 28, according to the National
Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA).
On
Monday, September 28, Nigeria will experience a lunar eclipse, which is
characterized by the moon being red.
The
agency in a statement signed by its deputy director, media and corporate
communications, Felix Ale said a lunar eclipse would begin from 1.11 am, and
will be at its maximum by 3.47 am, with its final contact at 6.22 am.
“Some
of the regions seeing at least some parts of the eclipse include, Europe,
South/East Asia, Africa, much of North America, much of South America, Pacific,
Atlantic, Indian Ocean, Arctic, and Antarctica,” it added.
The
lunar eclipse is an astronomical event that occurs when the earth comes
in-between the sun and the moon, and the earth casts its shadow on the moon, so
that the moon appears reddish.
In
some regions around the world where the lunar eclipse will be observed, it is
called the blood
