When And Where To Watch Solar And Lunar Eclipse In October 2023?

No need to get confused with several calendars & different portals to know the exact dates & timing of solar & lunar eclipses in this October month.

You must be aware of Solar and lunar eclipses in India. They are rare and amazing events that can give scientists valuable information.

Solar eclipses can help us learn about the Sun’s corona, which is usually hidden by its bright light. Lunar eclipses can teach us about the Earth’s atmosphere and the Moon’s insides.

Eclipses also have cultural significance in India. They have been respected and seen as either lucky or unlucky for many years. A total solar eclipse is thought to be especially powerful and can bring big changes in people’s lives.

You should also be aware of eclipses for safety reasons. Looking directly at the Sun during a solar eclipse can hurt your eyes permanently. To watch a solar eclipse safely, you need special glasses or a filter to protect your eyes.

Here are the details of dates and timing of solar & lunar eclipses in India in October 2023.

Solar Eclipse 2023 (Surya Grahan 2023)

On October 14, 2023, there will be a special solar eclipse. It’s called an “annular solar eclipse,” and some people call it the “ring of fire.”

This happens when the Moon comes between the Sun and the Earth, but it’s a bit far from the Earth. Because it’s far away, the Moon looks smaller than the Sun.

So, when it covers the Sun, it leaves a bright ring around the edges, like a ring of fire. This eclipse will be visible in the Western Hemisphere.

Lunar Eclipse 2023 (Chandra Grahan 2023)

The second and last lunar eclipse of 2023 will happen on October 28-29. During a lunar eclipse, the Moon becomes dark and might turn reddish or orange. This happens because some of the Earth’s air bends sunlight and makes it look reddish on the Moon.
