Why is today’s lunar eclipse special?

Why is today’s lunar eclipse special?

The Hindu
Wednesday, May 26, 2021 5:16 AM GMT

The first total lunar eclipse in more than two years coincides with a supermoon today. However, India will witness only a partial lunar eclipse just after moonrise in the north-eastern states. What’s total lunar eclipse? What’s supermoon? Let’s find out...

The lunar eclipse on May 26 is going to be a special event, because not only is it the first lunar eclipse of 2021, but also a supermoon and a red blood moon. Combined to be called the super “blood” moon, it will be visible across the Pacific, as well as the western half of North America, bottom of South America and eastern Asia. However, only few places in India will be able to see a partial eclipse close to the eastern horizon after moonrise. The partial eclipse will be visible in some parts of West Bengal, some coastal parts of Odisha and Andaman & Nicobar Islands. But you can catch the total eclipse from other parts of the world live online. The total eclipse will last about 15 minutes as Earth passes directly between the moon and the sun. But the entire show will last five hours, as Earth's shadow gradually covers the moon, then starts to ebb.
