Total Lunar Eclipse in India: Know timings in all major cities and how to watch it

The year is about to end and the world is also set to witness its last total lunar eclipse on Tuesday, November 2022. While the phenomenon is happening after a period of 3 years, it will again take place after another 3 years. The eclipse will be witnessed across several cities in the world including North and Central America, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. However, not every person will be able to witness the celestial event during which the moon will be turning red because of a phenomenon called Rayleigh scattering.

With that said, Tuesday’s total lunar eclipse will be a Red Moon as the moon will be passing into the darkest spot of the earth’s shadow during the time and will thus appear to be as red. India will also be able to witness the eclipse though not everyone will be able to watch it completely. While people in the eastern parts of the country will be able to witness the total lunar eclipse, other parts will witness a partial eclipse.

If you live in India and want to witness the last total lunar eclipse of the year, check the timings of all the major cities across the country.
