Follow-ups:
Today, Tuesday, November 8, the globe is witnessing a total lunar eclipse, which is the second and last for the year 2022, and its timing coincides with the timing of Badr, the month of Rabi’ al-Thani, for the current Hijri year 1444, and the eclipse comes two weeks after the partial eclipse of the sun occurred on October 25.
The second and last eclipse this year
The date of the second and last lunar eclipse this year will be on Tuesday evening, November 8, when the eclipse occurs when the moon passes completely through the Earth’s shadow and is located between the Earth and the sun, and its color gradually becomes dark and turns rusty or blood red.
The total lunar eclipse today, Tuesday, will not be visible in any of the Arab countries, but some Arab regions will witness a partial eclipse.
Which areas will witness a lunar eclipse on November 8?
Today, Tuesday, the lunar eclipse will be visible in varying proportions in southern and eastern Europe - Asia - Australia - North America - South America - the Pacific Ocean - the Atlantic Ocean - the Indian Ocean. All phases from its beginning to its end take approximately 5 hours and 54 minutes, while the total eclipse phase takes approximately 1 hour and 25 minutes.
The Arab countries, so the eclipse can be observed in parts of the Arab countries in the form of a semi-lunar eclipse or an incomplete eclipse, so that the moon passes in the semi-shadow of the earth, and the light of the moon only weakens, from each of the following:
Emirates: The moon rises at 5:33 pm (local time), the semi-eclipse occurs at 5:36 pm, so that the moonlight weakens and lasts about 22 minutes.
Oman: The moon rises at 5:22 pm (local time), a semi-eclipse occurs at 5:25 pm, when the moonlight weakens and lasts about 33 minutes.
Bahrain: The moon rises at 4:51 pm (local time), the semi-eclipse occurs at 4:53 pm, so that the moonlight weakens and lasts about 5 minutes.

The date of the next total lunar eclipse
This eclipse is the last total lunar eclipse that the Earth has witnessed for more than 3 years, as the next total lunar eclipse will be on March 14, 2025
It is worth noting that it is possible to take advantage of the phenomena of solar and lunar eclipses, to ascertain the beginning and end of the lunar or hijri months, as the phenomena clearly reflect the movement of the moon around the earth and the movement of the earth around the sun.
A lunar eclipse occurs in the opposite position, i.e. in the middle of the Hijri month when the moon is full, and its presence is at one of the two ascending or descending nodes resulting from the intersection of the plane of the moon’s orbit with the plane of the sun’s orbit, or close to it, where the Earth is located in this case between the sun and the moon, on Conjunction line, which is the line connecting the centers of the Earth and the Sun or close to it.
