Lunar eclipse treat for Malaysians on Wednesday

Missed the full glory of the recent solar eclipse? Never mind — you’ll get a chance with the moon instead. 

Tomorrow, Malaysians will have the opportunity to observe a penumbral lunar eclipse — between 7.21 pm and 9.55pm — when the moon would move completely our of the Earth’s shadow, National Space Agency Head of Corporate Communications Unit Wan Hakimah Abd Rahim said in a Bernama report.

“The lunar eclipse on Wednesday (March 23) will be the first lunar eclipse this year,” she was quoted as saying. 

A Penumbral Lunar Eclipse observation programme will be held for the public at the National Planetarium on that day starting at 7.30 pm.
