Nigeria is to experience a lunar eclipse on Monday September 28, 2015
for five hours and eleven minutes. A statement signed by the Deputy
Director in charge of Media and Communications at the National Space
Research and Development Agency (NASRDA), Dr. Felix Ale, said the
natural occurrence will start by 1:11am and end by 6:22 am.
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. The event, the agency said
will be visible in Abuja and in locations with the absence of cloud
cover. Other regions of the world that will experience the event include
Europe, the Americas and South East Asia. Nigerians have been advised
Nigerians not to panic, and to go about their normal business.
