Residents of India on Sunday - three weeks after the eclipse of the Sun - will be able to observe the eclipse of the moon. Like the solar eclipse on August 1, the lunar eclipse in India will be partial. You can watch it for three hours after midnight.

According to RIA Novosti , according to the calculations of Indian astronomers, the earth's shadow will cover the moon by 81%.

Residents of the Russian Far East, northern Japan and Europe will also be able to observe different stages of this natural phenomenon, Indian scientists report.

The inhabitants of India meet eclipses without enthusiasm, considering them unfavorable. According to popular beliefs, they bring people illness and misfortune. To avoid the "harmful" effect of eclipses, it is considered beneficial to read mantras and bathe in sacred waters. Scientists, however, question the consistency of popular rumor.
