In India it would begin at 12h 48m IST and end at 16h 17 m IST, said a senior officer of the Ministry of Earth Science.

The next lunar eclipse would be visible from India on 8 November, 2022, which would be a total lunar eclipse.

A lunar eclipse occurs on a full moon day when the Earth comes in between the Sun and the Moon and when all the three objects are aligned. A total lunar eclipse will occur when the whole Moon comes under the umbral shadow of the Earth and the partial lunar eclipse occurs when only a part of the Moon comes under the umbral shadow of the Earth.
