Mark your calendar for October 28, 2023, and come join us at the Al Thuraya Astronomy Center to witness the magic of a Partial Lunar Eclipse in the company of fellow astronomy enthusiasts.

- State-of-the-Art Telescopes: We’ll provide high-quality telescopes for attendees to observe the eclipse up close and personal, allowing you to witness the intricate details of the moon’s journey into Earth’s shadow.
- Astrophotography Opportunities: Bring your smartphone and capture stunning images of the eclipse. Our experts will be available to provide tips and guidance on astrophotography techniques.
- Educational Presentations: Before the eclipse begins, we’ll host informative presentations about lunar eclipses, their significance, and their place in the grand tapestry of our solar system.
- Family-Friendly Atmosphere: This event is perfect for families, friends, and individuals of all ages. Children and adults alike can explore the wonders of the night sky and cultivate a deep appreciation for astronomy.
