This year`s last Lunar Eclipse is set to occur on (8th November tomorrow)!
Eclipses occur during the occasions when the Sun, the Moon, and the planet Earth fall in a straight line.
During this period, when the Moon`s shadow covers the Sun, it is known as a solar eclipse. When the Planet Earth`s shadow covers the Moon, it is known as Lunar Eclipse.
An average of 4 eclipses occur during a calendar year!
When the shadow of the Planet Earth covers the Moon completely, it is called the Total (Full) Lunar Eclipse. If the shadow of the Planet Earth covers only a part of the Moon, it is known as a Partial Lunar Eclipse.
This year`s (2022) first partial lunar eclipse occurred on 16th May. Subsequently, a Full Lunar Eclipse is set to occur tomorrow (Tuesday, 8th November).
As per Indian Standard Time, this lunar eclipse commences at 2.39 PM and concludes at 6.19 PM.
A full Lunar Eclipse occurs from 3.46 PM to 5.11 PM. DURING THIS PERIOD, THE MOON WILL GLISTEN IN RED COLOUR! THIS IS KNOWN AS `BLOOD MOON`!
This lunar eclipse occurs in many parts of the world including Europe, Asia, Australia, North and South Americas, the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic, and Antarctic.
AT THE SAME TIME, AS IT IS A DAYTIME, THIS TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE WILL NOT BE VISIBLE IN INDIA!
However, the final moments of this Lunar Eclipse can be seen in Eastern India, including Chennai and Kolkata during the Moon`s rise.
The next Total Lunar Eclipse is scheduled to occur on 14th March 2025. As such, tomorrow`s lunar eclipse gains more importance and significance!
Further, Astronomers have informed us that a partial Lunar Eclipse may occur on 28the October 2023.
It may be noteworthy here that a partial Solar Eclipse occurred on 25th October!
