Interestingly, some regions of India and the world will see a total eclipse of the moon post a fortnight post the partial solar eclipse. It is also said to be one of the most important astronomical events of the world and it has been given the name ‘Blood Moon’ as the celestial body will appear in a red hue on the night of the eclipse.
