The first lunar eclipse of the year has begun, and it will be over by 12.30 p.m. Indian standard time (IST). Because the moon will appear larger than usual and turn a reddish color, this lunar eclipse is also known as a Supermoon or a Blood Moon.

North-South America, Africa, Western Europe, the Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, and Antarctica will all see the first lunar eclipse of the year. In India, the eclipse will be invisible. If you want to observe this astronomical event on May 16, you can go to NASA’s official channel

The eclipse is a total lunar eclipse that occurred in May 2022. The reason for this is that the moon moves into the umbra, or the inner part of Earth’s shadow, and is completely obscured. According to NASA, a partial lunar eclipse occurs when the moon, sun, and Earth are not perfectly aligned.
