A lunar eclipse will occur on the night of August 7, continuing until early the next morning, and will be visible in India and all over Asia, Europe, and Africa.
Raman Planetarium officials said that for Nagpur the penumbral part of the lunar eclipse, which is difficult to discern, will start at 9:20.01 PM on Monday night, while the partial phase will start at 10:52.56 PM.
The maximum eclipse will be at 11.50.29 PM. The partial eclipse ends at 00:48.09 AM while the penumbral eclipse ends at 2:20.56 AM on August 8.
Since the moon is above the horizon during this eclipse, so with good weather conditions the entire eclipse should be visible with naked eye. The duration of the partial eclipse is 1 hour, 55 minutes. A penumbral lunar eclipse occurs when the sun, the earth, and the moon align in an almost straight line. In this scenario, the earth blocks some of the sun's light from directly reaching the moon's surface and covers all or part of the moon with the outer part of its shadow, also known as the penumbra.
