The most amazing and evident astronomical event in the sky is an ‘Eclipse.’ None can forget the mesmerising Supermoon, Bloodmoon, Total Lunar Eclipse that occurred on January 31 last year! This astronomical occurrence has been memorable and millions witnessed this spectacular spectacle. Analogously, last year on July 27 - 28, Indians were really privileged to witness a regular longest duration ‘Total Lunar Eclipse’ of this century. But this year, Mysureans are extremely privileged to witness a Penumbral Partial Lunar Eclipse on July 17, since it is visible from all parts of India. This eclipse will be visible in the region covering Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, Northern and Southern America and New Zealand.
