Is Lunar Eclipse is visible in Bangladesh?

As we all know, a lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon, Earth and the Sun have aligned in such a manner that the Moon passes through the Earth's shadow, just as a solar eclipse occurs when part of the Earth passes through the Moon's shadow. There are three types of lunar eclipses; Full, Partial and Penumbral Lunar Eclipse. This month of July, we are going to witness a Partial Penumbral Lunar eclipse which occurs when the Sun, Earth, and the Moon are imperfectly aligned. When this happens, the Earth blocks some of the Sun's light from directly reaching the Moon's surface and covers all or part of the Moon with the outer part of its shadow, and this is how a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse occurs.

Unfortunately, the Lunar Eclipse will not be visible everywhere. Those in the north and central Africa will get the best glimpse of the natural phenomenon, while parts of South America and North America will also witness the extraordinary sight. 

Several countries like Bangladesh, India and those in Australia, Asia and mainland Europe would not be able to see the beauty of the summer penumbral lunar eclipse. However, they can enjoy the Live Stream of the event online.
