It was an awe-inspiring sight to see the moon turn a shade somewhere between copper and orange. An eclipse is of course caused when the moon passes behind the earth, which blocks the sun’s rays.
Clear skies over Karachi ensured that stargazers of the city could catch the eclipse without hindrance, as opposed to June’s event, which was something of a disappointment due to heavy cloud cover.
