Super Blue Blood Moon between 6.03pm and 6.07pm

The total lunar eclipse is visible in the UAE after sunset between 6.03pm and 6.07pm depending on which emirate you’re in and weather permitting. The partial eclipse will last until 7.11pm while the supermoon will last the whole night.

The Jan. 31 full moon is special for three reasons: it’s the third in a series of “supermoons,” when the Moon is closer to Earth in its orbit -- known as perigee -- and about 14 percent brighter than usual. It’s also the second full moon of the month, commonly known as a “blue moon.” The super blue moon will pass through Earth’s shadow to give viewers in the right location a total lunar eclipse. While the Moon is in the Earth’s shadow it will take on a reddish tint, known as a “blood moon.”
