"Science & Technology": total lunar eclipse at the middle of Muharram and continues for fifty minutes

King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) Announced its expectation of a total lunar eclipse that lasts for fifty minutes and starts at six minutes past five on Saturday 15th Muharram 1433h (according to Umm Al-Qura Calendar) when the moon shines over the city of Riyadh at one minute past five where the moon will be in a partial eclipse for five minutes then turns into total eclipse at sunset at six minutes past five.
KACST National Center for Astronomy (NCA) explained that this eclipse ends three minutes to six then turns into a partial eclipse that lasts until twenty minutes past seven when the moon disk returns as it was before the eclipse, as is usual in the middle of the lunar month.
 According to NCA, this eclipse is the first of the solar and lunar eclipses that are expected to occur during the Hire New Year. NCA highlighted its expectation of a partial lunar eclipse on the evening of Monday 14th Rajab 1433 AH, that starts at one o'clock, local time, and ends at six minutes past three in the afternoon but despite this timing it will not be visible in the Kingdom.
 NCA also announced its expectation of a partial solar eclipse on Sunday 29th  Jumada II, corresponding to May 20, 2012 and a total solar eclipse at the end of the Hijri year on Tuesday, 28th Zul Hijjah corresponding to November 13, 2012. However, NCA   pointed out that both eclipses will not be visible in the Kingdom.
 NCA attributed the natural  sensory cause of these  two phenomena to their link with the location of the sun,  earth and the moon, where the sun eclipses when the moon is on the line connecting between it and the earth and this happens in special cases through (conjugations) at the end of the lunar month.  The NCA also indicated that the moon eclipses when it is located in the Earth shadow that hides it from the sun and this happens in special cases also during the (reception) in the middle of the lunar month.
