Chandra Grahan 2023 Weather in India: Lunar eclipses continued to fascinate people across the globe. In many cultures, lunar eclipses have a spiritual and mystical meaning, while modern astronomers and scientists diligently study and analyze them so that we can learn more about the Earth-Moon system. In October we will witness another celestial event with a partial lunar eclipse. This month we will witness a partial lunar eclipse.
A Chandra Grahan, also known as a lunar eclipse, is an astronomical phenomenon that occurs when the Earth casts its shadow on the Moon. These eclipses are relatively frequent, occurring several times a year. However, they are not always visible from all corners of the world.
October 28, 2023 will be the last lunar eclipse of the year and will be visible from all cities in India. The next lunar eclipse will occur on March 25, 2024, according to NASA. The Times of India mentioned: “This celestial event will take place on Sharad Purnima in the month of Ashwina under the zodiac sign of Aries.”
What is a partial lunar eclipse?
In a partial lunar eclipse, only part of the Moon is in shadow. In a total lunar eclipse, the entire Moon is in shadow. In the penumbra of a lunar eclipse, the Moon passes through the penumbra of the Earth’s shadow, which is a less dark area.
NASA describes a partial lunar eclipse as: “The imperfect alignment of the Sun, Earth and Moon results in the Moon passing through only part of the Earth’s shadow. The shadow grows and then recedes, never completely covering the Moon.”
