Celestial enthusiasts across the world witnessed a stunning event on September 7 evening — a total lunar eclipse, also known as ‘Chandra Grahan’. This lunar eclipse, which is the second one for this year, also produced a “Blood Moon”, APA reports.
The Earth's shadow started covering the lunar disc at 9:57pm. By 11.01pm, the earth's shadow completely covered the moon at 11:01 pm, turning it coppery red, putting up a rare display of 'Blood Moon'.
The total lunar eclipse peaked around 11.48 pm and ended at around 12:22 am. The lunar eclipse lasted for a little over 48 minutes across India for celestial enthusiasts to witness. The eclipse was visible to the naked eye.
Apart from India, the eclipse was also be visible in Australia, the Far East, the Middle East, Europe and some parts of Africa, according to the former director of MP Birla Planetarium, Dr Devi Prasad Duari. However, neither North nor South America will witness the celestial event.
