What is a Lunar Eclipse?

What is a Lunar Eclipse? The Lunar Eclipse occurs when the shadow of the Earth is cast upon the Moon and the Moon comes in between the Sun and the Earth.

There are four penumbral Lunar Eclipses this year. 

This would be the first one in the year. The Sun would be in Capricorn and the Moon would be positioned in Cancer when this Lunar Eclipse 2020 takes place at 10:37 pm. 

Here is full moon dates.

Let us see what happens during the penumbral Lunar Eclipse 2020.

What happens during this penumbral Lunar Eclipse 2020

Almost 90% of the outer disk of the Moon would be within the Earth’s penumbral shadows, on this Lunar Eclipse 2020. No portion of the Moon can be observed in the total shadows of the Earth. Thus there would be a shadow gradient observed clearly around it.

With the Moon just a few days away from the perigee (the point when the Moon is closest to the Earth), the disk of the Moon will be almost 2% larger than ordinary times. The outline of the Moon, however would be clearly visible, in its entirety and those with 20/20 vision alone can clearly observe the outline standing out during the Eclipse.

The Moon would lose its milky white appearance during these hours and this gives the name Wolf Moon. If you are an avid Eclipse watcher or even an amateur busy clicking the Moon’s beauty even during an Eclipse, you may want to look forward to the upcoming Thunder Lunar Eclipse 2020 on 05th of July this year.

Life on Earth is impacted during every Eclipse and life itself behaves differently in these times. The sailors and the fishermen know best about the impacts on Water during a Lunar Eclipse.

Similarly, the Water in every being is impacted during this time of the year and this is somewhat the result of this Lunar Eclipse 2020 on every zodiac.
