Weather permitting; a partial lunar eclipse will make an appearance in the skies over Bangladesh on Saturday. While this will be a total lunar eclipse for western North America, coast of Pacific Ocean, Alaska, Hawaii, and some other parts of the western world, the moon will actually set just before the total eclipse begins.

This one is interesting because it will be the shortest total eclipse of the 21st century, lasting just a little over four minutes. This is because the moon is passing through just the edge of the Earth's inner shadow, reports USA Today. The eclipse will start at 6:12pm and end at 8:59pm, says in a media release by ‘Anusandhitsu Chakra’, a local science club.

The next total lunar eclipse will be seen in Bangladesh on 27 July 2018.
