“The partial phase of the eclipse will begin at 12.48 p.m. and will end at 4.17 p.m.,” the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said.
At 2:34 p.m., the maximum partial eclipse will occur, with the Earth's shadow covering 97% of the Moon. On November 19, a partial phase of the moon eclipse will be visible from regions of Andhra Pradesh and Assam.
On May 26, the year's first Chandra Grahan took place. The Chandra Grahan will be visible from certain portions of India, but it will have no religious significance. As a result, there are no Sutak schedules.
"The partial eclipse will begin a little after 1:00 a.m. CST on Nov 19 (11:00 pm PST on Nov 18.), reaching its maximum at 3:00 a.m. CST. Depending on your local time zone, it’ll happen earlier or later in the evening for you. It will last 3 hours and 28 minutes, making it the longest partial eclipse of this century and the longest in 580 years.
This is a remarkably deep partial eclipse as up to 97% of the Moon’s diameter will be covered by Earth’s darkest shadow. Only a thin slice of the Moon will be exposed directly to the Sun at maximum eclipse. Expect to see the rest of the Moon take on the orange-reddish colors, appearing as an “almost” total lunar eclipse", NASA said.
