What is Chand Grahan?
A Chand Grahan, also known as a Lunar Eclipse, happens when the Earth moves directly between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth’s shadow to be cast onto the lunar surface. This astronomical event creates a spectacular display in the night sky. There are three main types of lunar eclipses:
1. Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
This occurs when the Moon moves through the Earth’s faint outer shadow (penumbra), resulting in a subtle dimming of the Moon that is often hard to notice.
2. Partial Lunar Eclipse
In a partial eclipse, only a section of the Moon enters the Earth’s darker inner shadow (umbra). This leads to a noticeable darkening and a reddish hue on the affected part of the Moon.
3. Total Lunar Eclipse
During a total lunar eclipse, the entire Moon passes into the Earth’s umbra, causing it to turn a deep red or copper color, often referred to as a “Blood Moon.”
How Many Chand Grahan in Pakistan in 2025?
Pakistan will experience two lunar eclipses in 2025. However, only one of them will be visible within the country. The second eclipse may not be observable from Pakistan due to geographical limitations.
Witnessing the Chand Grahan in Pakistan
The first Chand Grahan of 2025, visible in Pakistan, will be a partial lunar eclipse. Although the Moon will not be completely covered by the Earth’s shadow, the event will still be a captivating sight. If you plan to observe the eclipse, consider using protective eyewear such as eclipse glasses or indirect viewing techniques for a safe experience.
Upcoming Solar Eclipse in 2025
Apart from the lunar eclipses, a partial solar eclipse is also scheduled for March 29, 2025. This solar event will be visible from regions including Europe, Northern Asia, and North/West Africa.
