This lunar eclipse will be visible in different parts of the Dubai Astronomy Group CEO, Hasan Ahmad Al Hariri, told Khaleej Times that the event is a major event. "very natural astronomical phenomenon" and that no one should fall for superstitions and conspiracy theories. He invited residents to visit the Astronomy Center on July 27 to attend the lunar eclipse and gain knowledge about the event.

Begley said that "with volcanic eruptions, lava flows and hazy days in Hawaii" the ongoing earthquakes and the blood moon being directly over occupied Jerusalem means that a "biblical prophecy becomes true. "

"The United Arab Emirates will be stunned – they are already stunned by what will happen. They are already stunned by making 103 minutes of absolute Blood Moon over their heads, "said Begley in the video.

What Science says

Al Hariri denied Begley's claims and said that the blood moon had a scientific explanation behind it.
"The lunar eclipse is a geometry of three bodies, which makes the white moon become blood red.When the sun, the ear The moon and the moon are aligned, the shadow from the earth falls on the moon and we see what we call the lunar eclipse.

"Usually during the lunar eclipse, which we see about twice a year in different parts of the world, The moon pbades in a short time above or below shadows in partial levels or in fast speeds. But this upcoming lunar eclipse has a unique character because it starts from the center and this geometry makes the eclipse the longest to observe in a century, "he said.

" This time, it happens so that almost from Asia will observe, plus Africa, parts of Australia and Europe. It is an international phenomenon that we will have. It will be beautiful and visible to people around the world. "

Al Hariri insisted that people learn about the astronomical phenomenon instead of falling on conspiracy theories and superstitions

" Let me debunk this rumor. tell when the world is coming to an end? How did he come to this conclusion? The moon is constantly roaming around the earth. So, why only an eclipse will happen?

"If the moon and the sun are both on the same sides, then it is more likely that it affects the tides of the earth, but when the moon and the sun are opposite, they almost equalize the process , so there is an average tide, there is no upper tide, it is very natural, there is nothing to worry about.

" people have a misconception about the eclipse, this lunar eclipse is very long, people are scared, a lot of people have the bad idea that it is a bad thing. We tell everyone that none of this is true, it is a very natural event that can be observed. "
