February 1944 lunar eclipse
A penumbral lunar eclipse occurred at the Moon's ascending node of orbit on Wednesday, February 9, 1944, with an umbral magnitude of −0.5223. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves into the Earth's shadow, causing the Moon to be darkened. A penumbral lunar eclipse occurs when part or all of the Moon's near side passes into the Earth's penumbra. Unlike a solar eclipse, which can only be viewed from a relatively small area of the world, a lunar eclipse may be viewed from anywhere on the night side of Earth. Occurring about 1.1 days before apogee (on February 10, 1944, at 7:45 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter was smaller.

This eclipse was the first of four penumbral lunar eclipses in 1944, with the others occurring on July 6, August 4, and December 29.

Earth's shadow
Earth's shadow (or Earth shadow) is the shadow that Earth itself casts through its atmosphere and into outer space, toward the antisolar point. During the twilight period (both early dusk and late dawn), the shadow's visible fringe —sometimes called the dark segment or twilight wedge—appears as a dark and diffuse band just above the horizon, most distinct when the sky is clear.

Since the angular diameters of the Sun and the Moon as viewed from Earth's surface are almost the same, the ratio of the length of Earth's shadow to the distance between Earth and the Moon will be almost equal to the ratio of the diameters of Earth and the Moon.

Since Earth's diameter is 3.7 times the Moon's, the length of the planet's umbra is correspondingly 3.7 times the average distance from the Moon to Earth: about 1.4 million km (870,000 mi). The diameter of Earth's shadow at lunar distance is about 9,000 km (5,600 mi), or 2.6 lunar diameters, which allows observation of total lunar eclipses from Earth.

Dubai–Sharjah–Ajman metropolitan area
Dubai–Sharjah–Ajman (DSA) (Arabic: منطقة دبي والشارقة وعجمان الكبرى), is the largest and most densely populated metropolitan area in the United Arab Emirates, located along the central section of the country's coast. It encompasses the contiguous urban territories of the cities of Dubai, Sharjah, and Ajman, forming a singular socio-economic zone governed by three separate emirates.

With a population of 6.3 million, this region is characterized by intense interdependence, high rates of cross-emirate commuting, and shared infrastructure, forming the UAE’s principal urban corridor. The area is also part of a wider conurbation that extends into parts of Umm Al Quwain and western Ras Al Khaimah, though those areas are not included in standard definitions of the DSA core. This metropolitan area represents one of the most densely populated and economically significant regions in the Middle East.
