During the Total Lunar Eclipse (Chandra Grahan) on Friday, The Moon appears deep red in color, also called Blood Moon. This is a rarest phenomenon which can't be missed.

Another interesting spectacle will be Planet Mars coming so close to the Moon and it's gonna be seen with the naked eye.

Total Lunar Eclipse is possible when Earth, Moon and Sun are positioned in a straight line. Earth's shadow completely blocks the direct Sunlight during this period.

What's the speciality of this Total Lunar Eclipse? It's the longest Total Lunar Eclipse in the century, lasting for 1 hour 43 minutes between July 27th midnight to early hours of July 28th. There is a possibility of watching such a long duration total lunar eclipse again only in 2123.

In India, Blood Moon can be spotted from 1 am to 2.43 am on July 28th, 2018.

People in India can witness Lunar Eclipse from 10.44 pm on July 27th to 4.58 am on July 28th.
