So, when Earth blocks the light from Moon it is known as lunar eclipse and it can only occur at the full moon day as the Sun, Earth, and Moon formed in a line in space, with Earth in the middle. In a year, lunar eclipses can occur from two to five times. There are three kinds of lunar eclipses: total, partial, and penumbral.<\/p>\n<p>In a penumbral lunar eclipse, only the more diffuse outer shadow of Earth, the penumbra falls on the moon\u2019s face. With the comparison of a total or partial eclipse, a penumbral lunar eclipse is complex and difficult to witness. Its impossible to identify from a dark bite and the eclipse never progresses to reach the dramatic minutes of totality either. While the penumbral lunar eclipse, very bright people might see a dark shading on the moon\u2019s face. None will look at the moon and might see nothing special.<\/p>\n<h3><a id=\"Third_Lunar_Eclipse_Date_and_Timings\"><\/a>Penumbral Lunar Eclipse Date and Timings<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13607\" src=\"https:\/\/versionweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Lunar-eclipse-2020-Timings-in-india.png\" alt=\"Lunar eclipse 2020 Timings in india\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/versionweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Lunar-eclipse-2020-Timings-in-india.png 1000w, https:\/\/versionweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Lunar-eclipse-2020-Timings-in-india-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/versionweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Lunar-eclipse-2020-Timings-in-india-768x1152.png 768w, https:\/\/versionweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Lunar-eclipse-2020-Timings-in-india-683x1024.png 683w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In 2020, the third lunar eclipse is going to take place on the intercepting night of July 4th to July 5th.
