Nearly 90-Minute Lunar Eclipse Viewing Expected In Shillong On Tuesday: IMD

Key Highlights

• India Meteorological Department (IMD) officials added that weather conditions are likely to remain favourable for viewing in most parts of Meghalaya.
• “According to the current forecast, we expect generally clear to partly cloudy skies over Shillong and adjoining areas on Tuesday evening.
• This should allow people to witness the eclipse without major weather-related obstruction,” an IMD official told PTI.
• Another official said visibility would largely depend on localised cloud cover at the time of moonrise.
• “If the eastern horizon remains clear around sunset, residents will be able to see the moon emerging from the Earth’s shadow with its characteristic reddish hue,” the official added.
