The National Space Research and Development Agency on Friday says Nigeria will join other countries of the world to experience a total lunar eclipse on Monday.
The information was in a statement issued by Dr Felix Alle, the Head, Media and Public Communications of the agency in Abuja.
According to Alle, a lunar eclipse is a celestial incident where the moon appears darkened as it passes into the earth’s shadow.
He stated that “lunar eclipse occurs only when the sun, earth and moon are exactly aligned with the earth between the two.
“There will be a lunar eclipse over Nigeria on Monday, Jan. 21, 2019.
“The eclipse, expected to be total, will begin in the evening of Sunday and end on Monday.
“The eclipse will start across Nigeria in the early hours of Monday at approximately 3:36 am to reach its maximum at 6:12am and end at about 6:43am.
“The total duration of the occurrence over Nigeria will be three hours and 15 minutes.”

witnessed, while the moon eclipse is expected to end at 6.43am”
The communications officer stated that the eclipse is expected to take place across North, South America, WesternEurope, North and West Africa and Asia.
