What is a total lunar eclipse?

Eclipses occur whenever the Sun, the Moon, and Planet Earth come in a straight line! The moon falls entirely under the shadow of the plane Earth! It may be noted that a partial solar eclipse occurred in several parts of the world on 25th October.

One Eclipse Period is approximately 35 days.  However, there would be 2 eclipses during this period! Sometimes, during a single eclipse period, even 3 eclipses may occur!


In this situation, this year`s lunar eclipse is scheduled to occur on 8th November. It is a total lunar eclipse and will be the last eclipse in the year 2022.  And would be the 2nd eclipse in the period October-November.
