The second lunar eclipse of 2024 will occur on September 17 (September 18 according to Pakistani time) but it will not be visible in Pakistan.
This will be a partial lunar eclipse which will be visible in the USA, most of Europe, Australia, Africa and parts of North and East Asia.
The phenomenon of lunar eclipses occurs when the Earth passes between the sun and the moon during its orbit and casts its shadow on its natural satellite.

Lunar eclipses also provide solid proof that the earth is a sphere not flat, as upon passing, the planet forms a curve like shadow on the visible side of the moon.
While a partial lunar eclipse is not as dramatic as a total eclipse, it can still be quite striking for viewers.
