Egypt, Arab region to witness Penumbral lunar eclipse Friday
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
Cairo - Arab Today
A Penumbral Lunar Eclipse will be observed in Egypt and the Arab region on Friday, said head of the Astronomy and Geophysical Research Institute Hatem Ouda on Sunday.
The eclipse will start at 6:52 p.m. and reach its peak at 8:54 p.m. It will end at 10:56 p.m. after nearly four hours.
It will be the third and last eclipse for this year.
During the Penumbral lunar eclipse, the Earth's main shadow does not cover the Moon. As the Earth's shadow (umbra) misses the Moon during a Penumbral lunar eclipse, there are no other locations on Earth where the Moon appears partially or totally eclipsed during this event.
A Penumbral lunar eclipse is hard to be viewed as the shadowed part is only a little bit fainter than the rest of the Moon.
There are three kinds of lunar eclipse: Partial, total, and penumbral.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led his
