The second lunar eclipse of 2023 will be occurring on the night of October 28 which can be watched from the Eastern Hemisphere, including Africa, Europe, Asia and parts of Australia. This lunar eclipse is called a partial lunar eclipse as only a partial part of the moon will be embraced with Earth’s shadow. Lunar eclipse is one of the most beautiful celestial phenomena that the naked eye can experience so even if you can’t catch the look, one can always turn to live streams available online.
Lunar eclipse takes place when Earth moves in a way that it comes in between the Sun and the Moon, resulting in a shadow on the surface of the moon. Sometimes, the moon appears reddish in color from naked eyes which happens when a portion of the moon will pass through the umbra, Earth’s darker inner shadow, resulting in a typically reddish “Blood Moon.” This time, only 6% of the moon will be darkened, therefore the impact will be quite minimal.
