After days of heavy rains occasioned with heavy clouds, the sky was all clear in Kigali and the moon almost met the sun on February 6, 2020 from around 4:47 pm.

Full moon refers to an astronomical phenomenon when the face of natural satellite is fully illuminated by the sun, appearing like a perfect circle.

This happens about once every month when the Earth is positioned directly between the sun and the moon.

The moon is an astronomical body that orbits earth as its only natural satellite.
