October 28-29 Lunar Eclipse To Be Visible From All Places In India

Unlike solar eclipses, watching the moon being shadowed by the Earth with naked eyes is perfectly safe.

A partial lunar eclipse will occur this week (on October 29), the month's second celestial event after the annular solar eclipse on October 14. According to space.com, it will be visible over parts of Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, North America, North/East South America, Pacific, Atlantic, Indian Ocean, Arctic and Antarctica. The Press Information Bureau (PIB) said the moon's obscuring will be visible from all places of India around midnight. Though moon will enter penumbra at midnight of October 28, the umbral phase will start in the early hour of October 29.
