  • Chandra Grahan November 2020: 4th Lunar Eclipse to Fall on November 30; Check Timing

To the individuals who miss November's full moon, they can generally plan to see the last full moon of 2020, which will illuminate the night sky at 10:28 p.m. EST on December 29 (3:28 UTC on December 30). All or part of the moon is covered with the outer part of its shadow, also known as the penumbra.

There are three kinds of lunar eclipses, namely, total eclipse, partial eclipse, and penumbral eclipse.

Lunar Eclipse or Chandra Grahan is a celestial event that occurs when the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, restricting Sun's light from reaching the Moon. The fourth penumbral lunar eclipse of the year or "Upachhaya" will occur on the date of Shukla Paksha of Kartik month, or Karthik Purnima.

The Old Farmer's Almanac notes that Native Americans dubbed November's full moon the beaver moon because it came at the time when the animals completed their lodges of mud, sticks and rocks in preparation for winter. With the eclipse lasting for more than four hours, the duration of the eclipse will be substantially longer than the previous eclipses.

But the full moon in November, the final one before the winter solistice, has many names around the world.

The eclipse is expected to begin at 11:32 pm on Sunday, reach a maximum eclipse at 1:42 am on Saturday and end at 3:53 am timeanddate.com. But unfortunately sky watchers in India will not be able to see the eclipse as the Moon will be below the horizon here.

However, people in some northern and eastern parts of the country will be able to see the penumbral eclipse. Prior to this eclipse, all the three were also penumbral eclipses.

When will the next lunar eclipse take place?

The next lunar eclipse is slated to take place on May 26, 2021.

Unlike solar eclipses, when the moon passes between the Earth and Sun and totally or partly blocks the Sun from view, viewers do not need special glasses to view Monday's lunar eclipse. It will be a total lunar eclipse.
