What is a lunar eclipse?
Darshan schedule revised at Tirumala for lunar eclipse
A lunar eclipse is a celestial event that occurs when Earth passes directly between the Sun and the Moon, casting its shadow across the lunar surface. This alignment can only happen during a full moon.
At totality the moon appears in red colour due to Rayleigh Scattering which is the varying dispersion of all ranges of colours in inverse proportion to their wavelength by the Earth’s atmosphere. The red colour is scattered less compared to other colours and so falls on the moon making it look red.
