Lunar Eclipse 2021: Blood Moon to be visible in India?
The Total Lunar Eclipse occurring on May 26 (Wednesday) will be visible in several countries. The first lunar eclipse of 2021 will be an especially super lunar event, as it will be a supermoon, a lunar eclipse and a red blood moon all at once. A full lunar eclipse occurs when the sun, earth and moon are in a straight line. At the time of the eclipse, the earth comes between the sun and the moon. Due to this, the sunlight does not reach the moon and the moon appears dark.Â
