KUWAIT CITY, July 15: Astronomer Adel Sa’adoun said Kuwait will witness a partial eclipse of the moon at 12.32 am (past midnight) Wednesday, reports Al-Rai daily. Al-Sa’adoun said the phenomenon will begin at 8 pm when the moon enters the earth’s orbit at 8 pm and will continue past beyond midnight until it begins to emerge from the Earth’s orbit. He said because the moon enters into the earth’s 1,400,000 km area, the earth obscures the sun from the moon.
