Chandra Grahan 2024 has begun letting millions of people across the world enjoy the rare celestial event. The penumbral phase of the lunar eclipse began at 06:11 AM (0141 GMT) on Wednesday, September 18.
The full phase of the lunar eclipse will begin in a while at 08:14 am. However, the spectacular images of Chandra Grahan 2024 (lunar eclipse) have started pouring in on social media.
This astronomical marvel will be visible in many parts of the world, but not in India, as the Moon will be below the horizon during the cosmic event. Thus, Indian observers will be unable to witness partial lunar eclipse. However, the celestial event still holds religious significance for people across the country.
For those who are willing to watch the ongoing Chandra Grahan, they can enjoy the live streaming of the rare celestial event.
Time and Date is live streaming the lunar eclipse of 2024.
The lunar eclipse began at 8:41 pm EDT (0141 GMT on Sept. 18). The sky-gazers in Europe, Africa, North and South America, and Asia, can witness the ongoing Chandra Grahan. But the best time to witness the lunar eclipse will be at 10:44 p.m. EDT (0341 GMT on Sept. 18) and the partial lunar eclipse will end at 12:47 a.m. EDT on Sept. 18 (0547 GMT).
This year’s lunar eclipse in September will occur during a supermoon. A lunar eclipse, Chandra Grahan, occurs when the Earth positions itself between the Sun and the Moon, casting its shadow on the Moon. September 17-18 Chandra Grahan will be a partial eclipse, hence the Earth’s shadow will cover only a portion of the Moon, and bring a reddish tint over it.
