Lunar Eclipse September 2024: Stargazers and cosmic enthusiasts can prepare for a partial Lunar Eclipse that will grace India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and the adjoining countries on September 18, 2024.
Second lunar eclipse of the year, the upcoming lunar eclipse, commonly known as Chandra Grahan is scheduled for the wee hours of the morning Wednesday Sept 18, 2024.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the sun and the moon, casting its shadow on our planet's only natural satellite, as explained by Space.com.
Lunar eclipses also provide clear evidence that the Earth is spherical, not flat, as the planet forms a curved shadow on the moon. This shadow, at times, appears as if it’s taking a bite out of the moon.
