So, when will the lunar eclipse take place? Will the first lunar eclipse of the year be visible from Turkey?In 2025, Turkey will witness two lunar eclipses. The first one will be a penumbral lunar eclipse occurring on March 14th. These kinds of eclipses happen when the Moon passes through the Earth’s outer shadow, known as the penumbra. In penumbral eclipses, the Moon’s surface doesn’t completely darken, so there is no noticeable change in brightness. Therefore, they may be less striking compared to total or partial lunar eclipses. However, a slight darkening on the Moon’s surface may be observed. For those interested in sky observation and astrophotography, this eclipse is still a noteworthy event.The eclipse process in Turkey won’t be fully visible as it will continue while the Moon sets. Although observation conditions may vary from region to region, observers, especially in the western regions, might catch a glimpse of the beginning of the eclipse. Clear weather conditions during the eclipse can enhance the observation experience.Such astronomical events provide an important opportunity to observe the movements of the Moon and the effects of the Earth’s shadow. They are also considered as impressive natural events that increase interest in astronomy among sky enthusiasts.If the weather permits, you can witness this rare natural event by looking up at the night sky.
