“There is going to be a partial lunar eclipse on the night of October 28 which can be experienced by people in India along with the entire Asia, Europe, Africa, and Russia. The eclipse will occur during late night of October 28 and will continue till the early hours of October 29,” astrophysicist Debi Prasad Duari told Press Trust of India.
Duari said that the moon will be partially eclipsed by the shadow of the earth for some time on October 28 and will give people in India a chance to experience a partial lunar eclipse.
“The change in brightness is not very much noticeable. After this phase moon will partially enter the actual dark part of the earth’s shadow which is termed an umbral lunar eclipse and is considered the actual eclipse by most people,” he added.
The partial lunar eclipse is set to commence at around 11:31pm on October 28 but the partial Umbral eclipse, which is more noticeable, will start in the early hours of October 29, at around 1:05am. The lunar eclipse will become maximum at around 1:44am and will end by 2:23am.
