In Nagpur, the moon will rise around 17:32 hours with 60 per cent of the disc obscured at around 17:34 hours, when the complete moon will be above the horizon for the eclipse to be effectively seen. Mumbai will see it at around 18:03 hours with only 14 per cent obscuration. In Bengaluru, the moon will completely rise at 17:57 hours with 23 per cent of its disc obscured by the earth' shadow. New Delhi will experience a partial eclipse from moonrise at around 17:31 hours with 66 per cent obscuration of the moon since the total phase of the eclipse has already ended by then at 17:11 hours, the astrophysicist said. "Only in Kohima, the eclipse at its maximum phase can be observed at around 16:29 hours, when the moon will cross the darkest part of the earth's shadow," he said. Kohima, Agartala, Guwahati will observe the total eclipseĬities in the eastern part of the country like Kohima, Agartala, Guwahati will observe the total eclipse earlier than Kolkata because of their position. "So, till 17:11 hours it will be total lunar eclipse after which the moon will enter the partial eclipse phase and will become more illuminated as time progresses," he said. In the city, the moon will start rising from the eastern horizon at around 16:52 hours and will be completely visible by 16:54 hours. Some parts of eastern India including Kolkata, will experience the total phase of the lunar eclipse, whereas in rest of the country people will only be able to see the progression of the partial phase of the eclipse which will end at around 6.19 pm. "The eclipse will be visible from all parts of India from the moonrise time, but the beginning phase both the partial and total eclipse will not be visible because both the event begins when the moon is below the horizon everywhere in India," Duari said. Penumbral eclipse ends: The eclipse is over. Partial eclipse ends: The whole Moon is in Earth’s penumbra, but again, the dimming is subtle. It will look as if a bite is being taken out of the opposite side of the lunar disk as before. Totality ends: As the Moon exits Earth’s umbra, the red color fades. If you want to take a photo, use a camera on a tripod with exposures of at least several seconds. Try binoculars or a telescope for a better view. Totality begins: The entire Moon is now in the Earth’s umbra. The part of the Moon inside the umbra will appear very dark. To the naked eye, as the Moon moves into the umbra, it looks like a bite is being taken out of the lunar disk. Partial eclipse begins: The Moon begins to enter Earth’s umbra and the partial eclipse begins. The Moon begins to dim, but the effect is quite subtle. Penumbral eclipse begins: The Moon enters the Earth’s penumbra, the outer part of the shadow. During a lunar eclipse, the Moon turns red because the only sunlight reaching the Moon passes through Earth’s atmosphere.ĭifferent phase of Chandra Grahan or Lunar Eclipse explained The same phenomenon that makes our sky blue and our sunsets red causes the Moon to turn red during a lunar eclipse. Why does the Moon turn red during a lunar eclipse? You don’t need any special equipment to observe a lunar eclipse, although binoculars or a telescope will enhance the view and the red colour. The lunar eclipse in its totality will not be observed from everywhere, Duari said, adding that the beginning of the partial phase of the eclipse will be seen from some countries of Latin America. Lunar eclipses are sometimes called “Blood Moons" because of this phenomenon.įull breakdown of the stages of the total lunar eclipse on November 8 in IndiaĪlso known as Chandra Grahan in India, the total Lunar eclipse would be visible only from eastern parts whereas Partial eclipse would be visible from most of India. When the Moon is within the umbra, it will turn a reddish hue.
In a total lunar eclipse, the entire Moon falls within the darkest part of Earth’s shadow, called the umbra. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Sun, Earth, and Moon align so that the Moon passes into Earth’s shadow.
Total lunar eclipse time full#
Besides India and neighbouring Pakistan, Afghanistan and parts of Russia, residents of other parts of Asia, North and South America, Australia, North Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean will be able to see the celestial event, said astrophysicist Debi Prasad Duari, PTI reported.Ī total lunar eclipse takes place when the full moon passes through the shadow region of the earth and for some time it will be eclipsed.
