The information was contained in a statement issued to NAN by Dr Felix Alle, the Head, Media and Public Communications of the agency in Abuja.
According to Alle, lunar eclipse is one in which 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.
The eclipse will start across Nigeria in the early hours of Monday at approximately 3.36 a.m. to reach its maximum at 6.12 a.m. and end at about 6.51 a.m. The total duration of the occurrence over Nigeria will be three hours and 15 minutes.”
He said that the year’s total lunar eclipse would be the last eclipse to be experienced until 2021.

ReplyDeleteI wanted to see the blood moon tonight but it was too cold. Too cold that l decided to get back under my electric blanket. Hopefully, l will see the next one in 2021 by God’s Grace.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know there was going to be an eclipse today. I woke up before 4:am this morning and the moon is usually visible from my window in the middle of the night and early morning. It lights my room sef. So I observed that the moon that was about fool or something last night now suddenly turned half and kept getting smaller. I know the moon comes out and recedes gradually. i found it a bit odd that the moon kept getting smaller and smaller like something was darkening it little by little.
ReplyDeleteIt eventually turned black and I somehow convinced myself that that was the moon goes back every morning ,even though I knew it wasn't true.
I witnessed the whole thing without knowing it, I feel like such an idiot.
Do not feel like that please... They should have informe us at least week ago...
DeleteIncompetent people everywhere,no electricity to even pass the message around...
Okay.... Will watch out for it
