After the ‘ring of fire’ solar eclipse last month, the universe is again going to showcase a natural wonder in the form of lunar eclipse or Chandra Grahan. This upcoming celestial event is called a penumbral lunar eclipse, also called the "Wolf Moon Eclipse". During this period, the Earth will find itself between the sun and the moon, causing an eclipse.
There are three types of lunar eclipses. They are classified as total, penumbral, and partial. In the wolf moon eclipse, the moon drifts into Earth's outer shadow called the Penumbra. The Moon, during this period, is completely immersed in the penumbral cone of the Earth and stays out of the umbra.
This astral event is very subtle and can be a bit hard to spot. This lunar eclipse will be seen on January 10, 2020. Here is all you need to know about this magnificent natural event.
