Lunar eclipse in 2023 in India



 
In 2023, there are two lunar eclipses that will be visible in India. Here are the details:


1. Penumbral Lunar Eclipse on March 14, 2023: This lunar eclipse will be a penumbral eclipse, which means the Moon will pass through the Earth's penumbra, the outer part of its shadow. The eclipse will begin at 4:28 AM (Indian Standard Time) and end at 8:43 AM. However, the penumbral shading will be subtle and may not be easily noticeable to the naked eye.


2. Total Lunar Eclipse on September 7-8, 2023: This lunar eclipse will be a total eclipse, where the Moon passes completely through the Earth's umbra, the dark central part of its shadow. The eclipse will begin on September 7 at 6:24 PM (Indian Standard Time) and reach totality at 7:39 PM. The total phase will last for approximately 1 hour and 5 minutes. The eclipse will end on September 8 at 12:42 AM.

It's important to note that the visibility of lunar eclipses can vary based on the geographical location. These timings are specific to India, so if you are located in a different region, the local timings may differ slightly. Additionally, weather conditions and other factors may affect the visibility of the eclipses. It's always a good idea to check for updates and local observations closer to the date of the eclipse.
