On Monday (November 30) will see the last lunar eclipse of the year. The 'Upachhaya' lunar eclipse is on Kartik Purnima this year. This lunar eclipse is also known as the penumbral full moon eclipse. A Penumbral lunar eclipse can be difficult to observe if you are not a seasoned skywatcher. The November full moon will immerse deep into the penumbra and it will cover about 82.9 per cent of the lunar disk.
Lunar eclipse 2020: What is a penumbral lunar eclipse?
Lunar eclipses are generally of three different types, namely total, partial, and penumbral. The one that's appearing today is the penumbral one. A penumbral lunar eclipse, which is known as Upchaya Chandra Grahan in Hindi, occurs when the Earth blocks some of the Sun's light from reaching the Moon and the Earth's shadow covers all or part of the Moon. The eclipse is harder to spot as the shadow or penumbra is fainter compared to the dark core of the Earth's shadow, which is called umbra. Sometimes, a penumbral lunar eclipse is also mistaken as a full Moon.

Eclipse start time: November 30 at 1:04 pm.
