Answer 2

Hi Sheem!

Arabia has a fine view of tonight's partial eclipse of the moon, provided you don't mind staying up late.

The partial eclipse starts at 10:36 p.m. Arabia Time this evening, Saturday the 16th.  It takes the moon about an hour and a half to make its way into the earth's shadow, with mid-eclipse at 12:10 a.m. (now past midnight into Sunday the 17th).  

Nowhere in the world can anyone see more than a deep partial eclipse.  At mid-eclipse, 81% of the lunar disc is in shadow, leaving a thin crescent over the moon's north polar cap.

After midnight, the moon begins making its way out of the shadow, with the partial eclipse ending at 1:44 a.m. Arabia Time.

The next TOTAL eclipse of the moon in Saudi will be the night of June 15, 2011.
