It's a wonderful sight.:D

Oh yeah, i read an article about that..



This will also be beneficial insha'Allaah:

If an eclipse is a natural phenomenon, then why should we feel scared and pray?

Salaat al-Kusoof (prayer when there is an eclipse)

:sl:

The time for Salaat al-Kusoof lasts from the beginning of the eclipse until it is over, because the Prophet SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “When you see that, then pray.” (Agreed upon). According to another hadeeth, “If you see anything of that, then pray until it is over.” (Reported by Muslim).

Look carefully, it is still there.

Majority of the UK is experiencing clear skies tonight so you should be able to have a wonderful view of the total eclipse. It is going to last for around an hour from now. :D

According to this:
Residents of east Asia will see the eclipse cut short by moonset, while those in the eastern parts of North and South America will find the moon already partially or totally eclipsed by the time it rises over the horizon in the evening.

I saw it a few minutes ago, the moon is very dim, if you observe carefully or use binoculars/telescopes, you can see a dark circle around most of the moon, with a tiny end bit slightly brighter than the rest, thus forming the circumference of the circle, but still quite dim. I'm not sure if the moon is supposed to be completely engulfed in darkness, subsequently disappearing from vision altogether. The last time that happened that was a MAJOR solar eclipse which occurs once every few hundred years apparently, with news and live documentaries recording it, that was somewhere around the year 2000.

You're supposed to be seeing a faint red-ish glow around the moon. Seeing that the sky is really dark, tou should be able to see it.

I remember that.

its the solar eclipse that youre not supposed yo look at.
and the moon doesnt desappear because the earths atmosphere bends the light waves hence the reddish colour.
