A rare ‘blood moon' will be visible from Dubai — here's how to see it
Touted as *the* biggest cosmic event of the year, the total lunar eclipse is absolutely unmissable. This occurs when the earth gets between the sun and the moon, temporarily blocking the sunlight from the moon. As a result, we'll see what is called a 'blood moon'. A 'blood moon' is essentially the description given to the appearance of the moon during a total lunar eclipse as it takes on a reddish hue. You'll see a full moon, which then takes on a reddish hue as Earth's shadow begins to swallow it. It's set to be visible from the UAE and the rest of Dubai between Thursday September 7 and Friday September 8, wherever the skies are clear. While the total lunar eclipse will be visible with the naked eye, it'll be much more spectacular and impressive with a telescope or a pair of binoculars. The eclipse progresses through several phases: penumbral, partial, total, back to partial, and finally penumbral again. The entire lunar eclipse lasts for a few hours, with the total eclipse phase lasting anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. Dubai Astronomy Group will host at least one big event to help stargazers make the most of the total lunar eclipse and details will be announced at a later date. Al Sadeem Astronomy Centre (Credit: Supplied) Located in Abu Dhabi's Al Wathbah, this centre, which opened in 2016, offers a guided tours and night sky observation via traditional and smart telescopes (which are the size of a backpack). Events are usually on during key dates space calendar and you can book spots online. Dhs300(adults), Dhs100 (kids aged 8-17 years). Entry only by booking. Al Wathbah, Abu Dhabi, (02 642 6007). Al Quaa Milky Way Spot A quiet and open spot (away from night pollution) is always a good bet for stargazing. Around 90 minutes from Abu Dhabi towards Al Ain, is the Al Quaa Milky Way Spot. You'll need a 4×4 to get there and be apt at desert driving. It has its own location tag on Google Maps (23.604633,54.750256.) and is one place where you are sure to see something mesmerizing in the sky. Free. Open 24 hours, 7 days a week. Abu Dhabi. Shuweihat Island If you are interested in seeing a place that looks spectacular day or night then Shuweihat Island is a must. Around a four-hour drive from Dubai, you'll find salt flats and serenity. A 4×4 car is recommended when visiting. Free. Shuwaihat island. Hatta Hajar mountain location Hatta, which is just an hour and a half away from Dubai, can be a good spot to see the night sky but you should be aware that the area does suffer from light pollution. In the cooler months, there's plenty to do in the area from exploring Hatta Wadi Hub and Hatta Dam to looking around Hatta Heritage Village. Other activities it's known for are hiking and mountain biking. If you want to make a trip of it there are also options to camp, glamp or stay in a hotel. Free. Hatta. Looking for other things to do?
