Sky watchers view partial lunar eclipse through a telescope at the Haya Cultural Centre on Saturday night. The eclipse was visible between 10:30pm and 12:10am, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported. More than 400 people observed the event in Shmeisani and the Yasmin suburb, where the Jordan Astronomical Society had set up observation points. Astrologist Hani Daleea said Saturday’s eclipse was the last for this year, adding that the Kingdom will witness two more in 2009. Total lunar eclipses occur when the sun, the Earth and the moon are all in alignment and the moon travels into the broad cone of shadow cast by the Earth. The moon does not become invisible, though, because there is still residual sunlight that is deflected towards it by the Earth’s atmosphere, most of which is light in the red part of the spectrum. That causes the moon to appear as a dark colour, usually a coppery red, orange or even brown
