The peak of the eclipse, or maximum phase, occurred at 11:12 PM, when the moon was completely engulfed in Earth’s shadow, creating the iconic “blood moon” effect.
This rare astronomical event lasted for about 1 hour and 21 minutes, as the Earth perfectly aligned between the Sun and Moon, casting its shadow and temporarily darkening the lunar surface.
Citizens from major cities across Pakistan turned their eyes skyward, capturing photos and sharing the awe-inspiring moment with friends and family. Such celestial events remind us of vastness and beauty of the universe, inspiring wonder and curiosity across generations.
