Kenyans are poised to witness a rare total lunar eclipse on Sunday, September 7, creating a striking ‘blood moon’ effect. This celestial event offers the unique opportunity to simultaneously observe the planet Saturn, an occurrence that happens only once or twice a decade.

• The total lunar eclipse will feature a deep crimson glow for 82 minutes during its totality phase, one of the longest in recent years.
• The Kenya Space Agency confirmed the rare spectacle, visible to anyone on the night side of Earth.
• Viewing times for Kenya include the total eclipse beginning at 8:31 pm and ending at 9:53 pm.
• No special glasses or filters are required, making it safe for direct viewing with the naked eye.
