Lunar Eclipse 2023: What Causes a Chandra Grahan and How to View It
The first Lunar Eclipse of the year is scheduled to occur today, May 5th, and those interested in witnessing it will be able to do so from several places across India. A lunar eclipse occurs when Earth blocks sunlight from reaching the moon, casting a shadow across its surface. Partial lunar eclipse: During a partial lunar eclipse, only a portion of the moon enters Earth’s shadow, giving the appearance of a “bite” into the lunar surface. The feeble outer half of Earth’s shadow is cast across the lunar surface during a penumbral lunar eclipse. The Moon turns red during a lunar eclipse because the only sunlight reaching the Moon goes through Earth’s atmosphere.
