Time of Penumbral Lunar Eclipse (Chandra Grahan 2023)
Chandra Grahan 2023 will take place between 8.45 pm on May 5 and 01.02 am on May 6, the Moon will pass through Earth's shadow, resulting in a lunar eclipse. The Earth has a relatively large size compared to the Moon, which means that its shadow is also much larger than that of the natural satellite. Therefore, compared to solar eclipses, lunar eclipses are typically visible over a wider area of the globe.
Visibility
The eclipse on May 5 should be visible in most places where the Moon is above the horizon at that time. It includes Antarctica, Asia, Russia, Africa, and Oceania. According to media reports, the penumbral lunar eclipse will be visible in the southeastern part of the sky in New Delhi, approximately 40 degrees above the horizon at the time of the greatest eclipse. The time of the eclipse will be around 10.45 pm.
What is a penumbral lunar eclipse and what will it look like?
A lunar eclipse happens when the Earth passes directly between the Sun and the Moon and these three planets. The penumbral lunar eclipse is believed to occur when these three planets are in a straight line but the moon is not directly in the Earth's shadow. Unlike other types of eclipses, penumbral lunar eclipses are subtle phenomena that are usually difficult to observe. The Moon's brightness will decrease during the eclipse on May 5, but the majority of its surface will brighten to some extent.

How many types of lunar eclipses are there?
While the solar eclipse lasts for a very short time in partial, annular, and full form for a very short time, it takes only a few minutes, while the duration of the lunar eclipse is a few hours.
A lunar eclipse occurs due to the shadow of the Earth falling on the Moon. During the full lunar eclipse, the shadow of the Earth also falls in many ways. First of all, the Moon enters the Earth's umbra. It has very little effect and only very serious observers can see the changes in the moon during this period. It is also called the penumbra. After this, the next phase is of shadow which is also called the umbra. After this, the phase of totality begins.
While coming out, the same sequence is reversed, i.e. first it comes out of the totality, then crosses the area of the umbra, and after that as soon as it exits the area of the umbra, the lunar eclipse ends. During this, the moon appears red, which is also called Blood Moon.
How to watch the penumbral lunar eclipse on May 5
Penumbral lunar eclipses often have a very slight impact on the Moon, and unless you pay extremely close attention, you won't normally see it. The eclipse can be seen with the naked eye and additional viewing tools. Binoculars can let you see the eclipse more clearly.
