Nigeria, Other Countries to Witness Lunar Eclipse on Sunday

Nigeria and several other countries will witness a lunar eclipse on Sunday, September 7.

The eclipse, which will last about 83 minutes, is expected to begin around 8:00 PM Nigerian time.

According to scientists, the event will be visible across most of Africa, with some regions able to see the entire eclipse. However, areas in the far west may miss the early stages because the Moon will rise closer to or during the total eclipse.

Countries where the eclipse will be visible include Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Benin, Togo, Niger, Chad, and São Tomé and Príncipe.

Scientists explain that a lunar eclipse happens when the Sun, Earth, and Moon align, with Earth blocking sunlight and casting its shadow on the Moon. Unlike solar eclipses, a lunar eclipse is safe to watch with the naked eye.
