We begin this new year with Partial Lunar Eclipse, good 'omen' for us amateur astronomers. On January 1st, 2010 the Moon will be partly covered by Earth's shadow, but, the coverage will be very less. The Eclipse will start at 00:26am and ends at 1:18am. The maximum shadow coverage will be about 1'47”. Hope the skies will be clear by then. The Lunar Eclipse will be visible from Bangalore and also from all parts of India.
Moon will enter the Penumbral shadow at 10:46 pm, 31st December 2009.
Moon will enter the Umbral shadow at 00:26 , 1st January 2010.
Moon will leave the Umbral shadow at 1:18am, 1st January 2010.
