Lunar Eclipse 2023 in India live updates (October 28): The “ring of fire” solar eclipse that happened on October 14 was a sight to behold, but it was only visible in a very small part of the world. The lunar eclipse happening tonight, on the other hand, will be visible to all parts of the world where the Moon is above the horizon when it happens.
Lunar eclipse timeThe lunar eclipse will happen between 1.06 AM IST and 2.23 AM IST on October 29, according to In the Sky. The maximum eclipse will be at 1.45 AM IST when 12 per cent of the Moon’s disk will be covered by Earth’s umbra (the dark part of the planet’s shadow).
Yes, unlike the annular solar eclipse that happened earlier this month, the lunar eclipse on October 29 will be visible in India. When viewed from Delhi, the full Moon will be in the Northwestern part of the sky. At the time of maximum eclipse, 1.45 AM IST, the Moon will be about 62 degrees above the horizon.
