The Lunar Eclipse of Tuesday is trending all over the world. India will see the last part of the eclipse, when the Moon rises, the eclipse will already be underway. If you are in the eastern parts of India you will see more of partial phases, and if you are in the western parts of India, less and less of partial phases, in twilight conditions.

In Delhi and environs, Moonrise is at about 5:30 pm, just a few minutes before sunset. Partial phases would be in twilight, by the time twilight finishes, the Moon will be in penumbra.

Going by today’s weather (smog situation) it seems that the Lunar Eclipse would be seen from Delhi.

Observation start time – 5:00 pm
Observation end time – 8:00 pm

We will have a couple of large telescopes lined up.
