JUST IN: Nigeria to Witness Lunar Eclipse Tonight

Nigeria and dozens of other nations worldwide will witness a lunar eclipse today, the 7th of September 

The eclipse is expected to last approximately 83 minutes, which will start around 8 PM Nigerian time.

This rare celestial event occurs when the Earth passes directly between the Sun and the Moon, casting its shadow on the lunar surface and giving it a reddish hue, commonly known as the "Blood Moon".

The eclipse will be visible in its entirety across Asia, Western Australia, and parts of Europe and Africa.
