Chandra Grahan: Where and when to watch the second 2024 lunar eclipse in India
lunar eclipse of 2024 will occur today, September 18. This partial lunar eclipse will be visible in several parts of the world, including Europe, Africa, North and South America, and parts of Asia. Unfortunately, it will not be visible in India because the Moon will be below the horizon during the event.
The eclipse will begin at 6:11 AM IST and will last for 4 hours and 6 minutes, ending at 10:17 AM IST. Key phases of the eclipse include the start of the penumbral eclipse at 6:11 AM, the beginning of the partial eclipse at 7:42 AM, the maximum eclipse at 8:14 AM, and the end of the partial eclipse at 8:45 AM. The penumbral eclipse will conclude at 10:17 AM.
For those interested in watching the event, NASA will provide live streaming on its website and social media platforms.
A lunar eclipse happens when the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon and blocking sunlight from reaching it. This phenomenon causes the lunar surface to appear darker.
