Regions of the world that would see at least some parts of the eclipse are Europe, much of Asia, much of Australia, much of Africa, North America, South America, Pacific, Atlantic, Arctic, Antarctica, Timeanddate reports.

According to Timeanddate, a website that tracks time and events, the solar eclipse will be seen in Nigeria, but in partiality.

It listed Abuja, Benin City, Enugu, Kaduna, Kano, Lagos, and Port Harcourt as major cities that will also see the partial lunar eclipse.

Unlike a solar eclipse, a blood moon or a lunar eclipse can be viewed with the naked eyes without harm.

What causes lunar eclipse?

Scientists have been able to explain why a lunar eclipse occurs from time to time.

According to experts, a lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth moves directly between the sun and the moon, with the moon slowly moving through the Earth’s shadow in space.

The moon does not have its own light but reflects light directly from the sun. But if the earth prevents it from getting direct sunlight, this makes the moon turn red, creating a ‘blood moon.’

How long will the total lunar eclipse last?

For those seeing the 2025 total lunar eclipse in full, it will last for 65 minutes, according to reports by Space.com.

Speaking to Forbes, Franck Marchis, an astronomer at the SETI Institute calls it a rare cosmic arrangement.

He said, as quoted by Forbes:

“The moon will align perfectly with the sun and Earth, creating a breathtaking total lunar eclipse visible to everyone across North and South America. This rare cosmic arrangement is a wonderful reminder of our place in the universe — and a perfect opportunity to capture it for posterity.”

Scientists discover how water was created

Earlier, TheTalk.NG reported that a group of scientists have discovered how water was formed in the universe millions of years after the Big Bang.

The scientists stated that water molecules began forming shortly after what they called the first supernovae explosions.

According to the work published in the journal Nature Astronomy, the explosions created heavy elements, such as oxygen, required for water to exist.
