Mysuru: This evening, as we look towards the eastern sky, we will witness the dance of shadows that our Solar System regularly conjures up as our Earth and the Moon move in their cosmic orbits around the Sun. One can experience a Super Moon, Blood Moon and a Blue Moon total lunar eclipse — a very rare astronomical feat. The next time one gets to witness such an occurrence on Dec.31, 2028, and after that on Jan.31, 2037.
Eclipses have fascinated and also frightened the humanity. And as if to reflect this, people thronged various temples in city this morning to ward off any “ill effects” of the total lunar eclipse. On the other hand, people who believe in science and astronomy are enthusiastic to witness the rare occurrence.
