Lunar Eclipse November 8, 2022: A total lunar eclipse, Chandra Grahan, will occur on November 8, 2022, just a fortnight after Surya Grahan (solar eclipse).
At the time of Moonrise, the eclipse will be visible from all parts of the country.
However, because the phenomenon will be in progress before Moonrise, the beginning of the partial and total phases of the lunar eclipse will not be visible from anywhere in India. The total and partial phases of the lunar eclipse will end in the eastern parts of the country. According to the Positional Astronomy Centre in Kolkata and the India Meteorological Department, only the end of the partial phase will be visible from the rest of the country.
This lunar eclipse will be visible in South and North America, Australia, Asia, the North Atlantic Ocean, and the Pacific Ocean.
The eclipse will begin at 14:39 IST (2.39 pm). The total eclipse will begin at 15:46 IST (3.46 pm). The totality ends at 17h 12m IST (5.12 pm), and the partial phase ends at 18h 19m IST (6.19 pm).

On a full moon day, a lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, and all three objects are aligned. A total lunar eclipse occurs when the entire moon passes through the umbral shadow of the Earth, whereas a partial lunar eclipse occurs when only a portion of the moon passes through the umbral shadow of the Earth.
On October 28, 2023, there will be another lunar eclipse. This will be a partial eclipse that can be seen from India. The last lunar eclipse visible from India was on November 19, 2021, and it was a partial eclipse.
