2/5 What is a lunar eclipse? A lunar eclipse occurs when the Sun, Earth, and Moon align so that the Moon passes into Earth’s shadow. In a total lunar eclipse, the entire Moon falls within the darkest part of Earth’s shadow, called the umbra. When the Moon is within the umbra, it will turn a reddish hue. Lunar eclipses are sometimes called “Blood Moons” because of this phenomenon. (Pixabay)

3/5 Why does the Moon turn red during a lunar eclipse: According to NASA Moon, the same phenomenon that makes our sky blue and our sunsets red causes the Moon to turn red during a lunar eclipse. It’s called Rayleigh scattering. Light travels in waves, and different colors of light have different physical properties. Blue light has a shorter wavelength and is scattered more easily by particles in Earth’s atmosphere than red light, which has a longer wavelength. Red light, on the other hand, travels more directly through the atmosphere. (Pixabay)

The last total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan) of the year 2022 will take place tomorrow, Tuesday, November 8. The moon will be turning blood red tomorrow and hence will also be known as Blood Moon. Also, according to NASA, this will be the last total lunar eclipse for about three years as the next total lunar eclipse will be occurring on March 14, 2025. However, what can be noted is that we will still be able to see partial and penumbral lunar eclipses during these three years.

NASA tweeted about the same saying, "On November 8, 2022, the Moon will pass into Earth's shadow and turn red. This will be the last total lunar eclipse for about 3 years, so be sure to check it out if it's visible in your area." The total chandra grahan can be watched in India and several other parts of the world. Here are the details you need to know about the last total lunar eclipse of 2022.

According to NASA, Totality (total lunar eclipse)― the stage of the eclipse where the Moon is entirely in Earth's shadow ― will be visible across North and Central America and in Ecuador, Colombia, and western portions of Venezuela and Peru. In Puerto Rico, the Moon sets just after totality begins. The eclipse is also visible in Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. Viewers in Alaska and Hawaii will have the opportunity to see every stage of the eclipse.

The eclipse will start with the moon rise and will end with the moonset in India.

The partial lunar eclipse will start at 2:10 pm and the total lunar eclipse at 3:47 pm. The total lunar eclipse will end at 5:11 pm and the moon sets at 6:19 pm.
