Total Lunar Eclipse: A Practical Observation Lesson for Students

On the night of September 7 to 8, 2025, a total lunar eclipse was observed in our country.

At the initiative of professors of the Department of Physics and Astronomy, Faculty of Natural Sciences and Economics — R. Ibragimova, F. Dadaboyeva, and U. Isomaddinova — along with the department’s lecturers, an evening astronomical observation on the topic of “Lunar Eclipse” was organized for the faculty’s students.

During the session, students directly observed through a telescope how the Moon entered the Earth’s shadow. The maximum phase of the eclipse occurred at 23:11, when the Moon turned crimson red.

This practical exercise played an important role in consolidating students’ theoretical knowledge, developing astronomical observation skills, and enhancing their interest in celestial bodies.
