Sky Turns Scarlet: World Witnesses Longest Lunar Eclipse Since 2022 | ABP NEWS

The world stood still last night as the second and final lunar eclipse of the year unfolded in a breathtaking celestial spectacle. The eclipse began at 9:58 PM IST and lasted until 1:26 AM, spanning an impressive 3 hours and 28 minutes. At its peak, the eclipse reached totality for 82 minutes, during which the Moon glowed in shades of deep red and orange, creating a mesmerizing “Blood Moon” effect. This event marked the longest total lunar eclipse visible from India since 2022, and millions across the country turned their eyes skyward to witness it. Cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Noida, Lucknow, Hyderabad, Patna, and Jaipur recorded stunning views of the eclipse from different angles. As per tradition, temples across India were closed during the ‘Sutak’ period, a sacred time observed before an eclipse. With the celestial event over, temples have now reopened, and ritual purification processes are underway. Apart from its astronomical significance, the eclipse also held spiritual and cultural relevance in many parts of India, with people observing fasts and rituals during the event. As the sky returned to normal, it left behind awe, reverence, and stunning images shared across the globe.
