Unlike a solar eclipse, a lunar eclipse is completely safe to observe through the naked eye.
The last total Lunar Eclipse, also known as Chandra Grahan in India will occur on November 8, 2022. It will take place for approximately 85 minutes and skygazers of North America, parts of South America, Asia, Australia and New Zealand can witness the celestial event.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon, Earth, and Sun align, with the Moon passing through the shadow cast by the Earth. A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes through the darkest part of the Earth's shadow, known as the umbra, according to NASA.
The next total lunar eclipse will occur three years later, on March 14, 2025, the American space agency said. However, the world will continue to witness partial lunar eclipses during that time.
