A Partial Lunar Eclipse Is Happening In The UAE In The Coming Weeks
On August 7, the UAE and other Western Hemisphere countries will experience a partial solar eclipse.
The rare site, which will see 24.6 percent of the moon eclipsed, will begin at 7.50pm.
An eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and earth, and the moon (partially in this case) blocks the sun, as seen from earth.
According to local reports, a full solar eclipse will follow later in the month, however it will not be visible here in the UAE.
