LUNAR ECLIPSESky watchers across the world have enjoyed the first total lunar
ECLIPSE in more than three years. The eclipse
began at 1.48 AM Indian Standard time with the Moon totally immersed in the shadow of the Earth between 4.14 AM to 5.27 AM. During total
eclipse, the moon appeared reddish in colour as only light that had been filtered through the Earth's atmosphere reached the Moon's surface. The eclipse was
visible from the whole of Europe, Africa, South America, South Asia including India and eastern parts of the US and Canada. The coppery red Moon was also visible across large areas of the UK.
