Live : Penumbral Lunar Lunar Eclipse 2024 | March 25
The first lunar eclipse of 2024 is set to occur alongside the vibrant festival of Holi in India.
The celestial event will be a penumbral lunar eclipse, which occurs when the Moon passes through the lighter part of Earth's shadow, known as the penumbra.
This results in a subtle dimming of the lunar surface, which can be difficult to observe with the naked eye. Unlike partial or total lunar eclipses, where the Moon takes on a reddish hue, penumbral eclipses are less dramatic.
The full moon and eclipses
As a matter of fact, a lunar eclipse can only happen at full moon, because that’s the only time the moon can be directly opposite the sun in Earth’s sky. However, the full moon in October barely passes through the north of the Earth’s dark shadow (umbra), and therefore only a shallow partial lunar eclipse in the Earth’s dark shadow can take place.
However, usually there is no eclipse at full moon. For example, in 2023, we have 13 full moons but only two lunar eclipses and neither one of them is a total lunar eclipse.
