A total lunar eclipse will be visible from all over Bangladesh on Tuesday, Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) has said.
The eclipse will start at 5:12pm and will end at 7:57pm, the BMD report says.
This eclipse will be visible after the moonrise from all cities in each divisions if the sky remains clear.
Nighttime skywatchers from East Asia to North America will be treated to the rare spectacle of a "Beaver blood moon" on Tuesday, weather permitting, as the Earth, moon and sun align to produce a total lunar eclipse for the last time until 2025.
A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth casts its shadow completely over a full moon, blocking the reflection of all direct sunlight from the lunar orb and dimming the color of the moon to a reddish hue, hence the term blood moon, reports Reuters.
This is only possible when the orbits of the Earth, moon and sun align so that the moon is directly behind Earth relative to the sun.
Otherwise, the moon passes above or below Earth's shadow because its orbit around Earth is usually tilted relative to Earth's orbit around the sun.
How rare is a total lunar eclipse?
Total lunar eclipses occur, on average, about once every year and a half, according to Nasa.
But the interval varies. Tuesday's event will mark the second blood moon this year, following one in mid-May. The next one is not expected until March 14, 2025, reports Reuters.
