MUSCAT – The society shared key timings for the event, which are as follows:


• Eclipse begins: 08:27 PM
• Peak eclipse: 10:11 PM
• Eclipse ends: 11:56 PM


The Society recommends choosing an open location away from light pollution for best viewing experience. While the eclipse can be viewed with naked eye without any equipment, binoculars or telescopes will enhance visibility and allow viewers to observe the moon’s surface features in more detail.
“Start viewing early to enjoy the eclipse’s phases,” the Society advises.
