A lunar eclipse occurs when the Sun, Earth and Moon are in a straight line and the Earth’s black shadow falls on the Moon. A lunar eclipse usually occurs on a full moon day. Lunar eclipses occur even two or five times a year. In that sense, the first lunar eclipse on May 26 this year was a partial lunar eclipse. In this case the second eclipse of this year will occur on November 19th. But this is a small special eclipse. Why?

Because this lunar eclipse will last a long time. This is the first time in this century that it has lasted so long. NASA says there will be no lunar eclipse in the century from 2001 to 2100, except for the November 19 eclipse. NASA says the eclipse will last 3 hours and 28 minutes. This will also be a partial lunar eclipse.
What is a total lunar eclipse?
The eclipse will last from midnight on November 18 to dawn on the 19th. The eclipse is expected at 1.30 pm Indian time. Only then will the Earth contain 97% of the Moon. NASA has announced that the moon will be red this time. In most parts of the world, eclipses occur at different times of the day. This is especially evident in North American countries.
