Mumbai: There will be a total lunar eclipse visible in India on Thursday. “The eclipse will be visible in western India, but only the beginning of the umbral phase [shadow] as the eclipse begins in this part at the time of sunrise and the setting of the moon tomorrow morning,” Director of the Nehru Planetarium Piyush Pande said on Wednesday. The eclipse will be visible also from the Arctic region, western Asia, Arabia, most of Africa, Europe and the Americas, he said. The next total lunar eclipse will be only in December 2010, according to NASA. In India, Thursday’s event can be seen in the morning around 6-05 a.m., when the moon enters the penumbra phase. The moon will enter the shadow or the umbral phase at 7-13 a.m. This will last 51 minutes. At 10-39 a.m. it will move from the umbral phase. The phenomenon will end at 11-47 a.m. in India. This year will have two pairs of eclipses including a total lunar eclipse on February 21 and a total solar eclipse on August 1. The total solar eclipse will be visible in India as a partial event and the partial lunar eclipse, on August 16, will be visible partially in India. — PTI
