Key Viewing Times
Dr. Ammar al-Sakji, head of the Jordanian Astronomical Society, said that residents will be able to clearly see most of the eclipse, especially the total phase, which runs from 8:30 PM to 9:52 PM Jordan time.
The eclipse will reach its peak at 9:11 p.m., when the moon enters its deepest point in Earth’s shadow.
The moon is expected to take on a "stunning copper-red color," a phenomenon commonly known as a "Blood Moon," which will last for 82 minutes.
