Namaste, space enthusiasts! Prepare to witness a breathtaking total lunar eclipse, a 'Chandra Grahan,' on September 7, 2025. This celestial event will be visible from India and many other parts of the world. Let's explore how to experience this wonder!
What is Chandra Grahan?
A total lunar eclipse, often called a 'Chandra Grahan' in India, occurs when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. This can cause the Moon to appear red, known as a 'Blood Moon.' This is a special event to witness.
Global Viewing Opportunity
Over 7 billion people around the world will have the chance to see this incredible celestial show. The eclipse's visibility depends on the location and the local weather. This Chandra Grahan will be a memory for everyone. Ensure you check the timing.
How to Watch Safely
Unlike solar eclipses, you don't need special equipment to watch a lunar eclipse. The naked eye is perfectly safe! Just find a spot with a clear view of the sky. Gather family and friends. For the best viewing, choose a dark spot away from city lights.
Timing and Duration
The exact timing will depend on your location, so make sure you check the local astronomical events calendar for accurate details. The total phase, when the Moon is fully in Earth's shadow, can last for hours, providing an extended viewing opportunity.
Beyond the Eclipse
While the Chandra Grahan is a highlight, remember to keep an eye on other celestial events like the changing silver and gold rates. It's a time to celebrate the cosmos and the unique opportunity to connect with our world.
