Malaysians can observe the penumbral eclipse of the moon tomorrow (Feb 11).
The phenomenon occurs when the moon enters the earth's penumbra (shadow) and will look slightly darker.
The penumbral eclipse of the moon will start at 6.34 am and end at 10.53am.
"However, the eclipse can only be sighted up to 7.25am as the moon will then set," said a statement issued by the Corporate Communications Unit of the National Aerospace Agency (Angkasa), here today.
The eclipse can be seen more clearly with equipment such as a telescope or binocular while the weather will have a say whether it can be sighted or not.
ANGKASA will not hold any programme for the public to observe the penumbral eclipse of the moon. --BERNAMA
