In a statement, Chitotela said the Lunar eclipse will be experienced once again and Zambia will experience it in totality.
“Lusaka, Central, Southern and Copperbelt Provinces will have the best view. I therefore I encourage fellow Zambians and those across our boarders and international Tourists to come and experience the meeting of the sun and the moon tomorrow June 5, 2020 from 19:45 Hours” Chitotela said.
According to en.wikipedia.org, first eclipse was visible from a narrow corridor in the southern Atlantic Ocean and southern Africa, including Angola, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, the southern tip of Malawi, and Madagascar.
A partial eclipse was seen from the much broader path of the Moon’s penumbra, including eastern South America and most of Africa.
