Nigeria and dozens of other nations across the world will on Sunday, September 7, witness a lunar eclipse.
The eclipse is expected to last approximately 83 minutes, which will start around 8 PM Nigerian time.
Scientists state that the eclipse will be observable across most Africa, with some regions able to view the entire event.
Some of the countries to experience the eclipse including Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Benin, Togo, Niger, Chad.
The westernmost areas, however, may miss parts of the early penumbral or partial phases due to the Moon rising closer to or during totality.
Scientists confirm that a lunar eclipse is safe to view with the unaided eye.
A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned in space, with Earth in the middle, casting its shadow on the Moon.
