lunar overshadowing will happen on Monday yet it won’t be noticeable in India as it would be evening here, an authority of Jiwaji Observatory in Madhya Pradesh’s Ujjain said.

The ‘penumbral lunar eclipse’ will start at 12:59:09 pm and proceed till 05:25:09 pm on Monday, Rajendraprakash Gupt, administrator of the observatory, was cited by news organization PTI as saying on Sunday.

“A penumbral lunar shroud happens when the sun, earth, and moon adjust in right around a straight line. The earth impedes a portion of the daylight from straightforwardly arriving at the moon’s surface, and incompletely covers the moon with the external piece of its shadow, otherwise called the obscuration,” Rajendraprakash Gupt clarified.

A lunar obscuration or Chandra Grahan happens when Earth comes in the middle of Moon and Sun. At the point when the Sun, Earth, and the Moon are not completely adjusted, along these lines the Earth hinders a portion of Sun’s light from arriving at the Moon. It can cause a slight obscuring of the moon.

During a penumbral shroud, the Moon goes through piece of Earth’s external, fainter penumbral shadow, as indicated by Space.com.

This is the fourth and last lunar obscuration of the year 2020. November’s full moon is otherwise called Full Beaver Moon in numerous pieces of the world. Different names during the current month’s full moon incorporate the virus moon, ice moon, winter moon, oak moon, moon before Yule and kid moon, a report in Live Science said.
