Red Blood Moon: Nigeria To Experience Lunar Eclipse On September 28

The National Space Research and
Development Agency (NASRDA), has
announced that a lunar eclipse, which is
characterized by the moon being red, will
occur in Nigeria on Monday, September
28.
This was contained in a statement signed
by its deputy director, media and
corporate communications, Felix Ale on
Wednesday, September 9, in Abuja,
According to Ale, the lunar eclipse would
begin on Monday, September 28 from
1.11 am, and will be at its maximum by
3.47 am, with its final contact at 6.22
am.
The statement reads: “Some of
the regions seeing at least some
parts of the eclipse include,

Indian Ocean, Arctic, and
Antarctica.

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 moon.
