Lunar Eclipse 2022: Know date, time and years first 'Chandra Grahan' visibility in India
New elhi, May 05: The first Lunar Eclipse or Chandra Grahan of 2022 will take place in May. 2022 will have only two lunar eclipses - both complete ones. Between the late evening of May 15 and the early morning of May 16, depending on your time zone, the full Flower Moon will enter Earth's shadow, causing a total lunar eclipse -also known as a 'Blood Moon''.
What is a Blood Moon?
The night of May 15-16, 2022, brings a beautiful lunar eclipse to stargazers across North America. The Moon will be 100% obscured during this eclipse, which makes it a total lunar eclipse!
A total eclipse of the Moon is popularly called a "Blood Moon" because the Moon turns a reddish hue when it's completely submerged in the Earth's shadow. Although not as awe-inspiring as a total solar eclipse, a Blood Moon is still an amazing astronomical sight.
On April 30, the first solar eclipse of 2022 took place, and now, on May 16, 2022, the first Chandra Grahan will take place.
