The phenomenon occurs when the moon enters the earth’s penumbra (shadow) and will look slightly darker.
The penumbral eclipse of the moon will start at 6.34am and end at 10.53am.
“However, the eclipse can only be sighted up to 7.25am as the moon will then have set,” said a statement issued by the Corporate Communications Unit of the National Aerospace Agency (Angkasa), here today.
The eclipse can be seen more clearly with equipment such as a telescope or binoculars provided the weather permits.
Angkasa will not hold any programme for the public to observe the penumbral eclipse of the moon.
