A total lunar eclipse will take place after 11 years on tonight.
It is a rare eclipse where the moon will pass through the centre line of the Earth's shadow. As with all total eclipses of the moon, the celestial body will appear red.
'All phases of the moon's eclipse will be visible from all places in Bangladesh,' Shahjahan Mridha Benu, president of Anushandhitsu Chakra (The Inquisitive Circle) Astrology Division, told the news agency on Tuesday.
According to Benu, the moon will enter Earth's penumbra (partial shadow) at 11:24pm. Partial eclipse would begin at 12:23pm and total eclipse would commence at 2:12am and last for the next 100 minutes, he said.
Anushandhitsu Chakra has organised an open observation camp throughout tonight at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Novo theatre.
Bangladesh Astrono-mical Association has also arranged for a viewing at Dhanmondi Club grounds.
