The second lunar eclipse of 2026 has begun and is also visible in Azerbaijan.

According to information provided to APA by the Department of Astrophysics of the Faculty of Physics at Baku State University (BSU), this time the Moon will pass through only part of the Earth’s shadow, resulting in a partial lunar eclipse.

The penumbral lunar eclipse began at 05:23:55, while the partial eclipse will begin at 06:33:48. The eclipse will reach its maximum at 08:12:53. The partial eclipse will end at 09:51:55, while the penumbral eclipse will conclude at 11:01:41.
