October is particularly notable this year due to an array of celestial occurrences, including meteor showers, the start of the new year, and the captivating \”ring of fire\” solar eclipse that graced the heavens on October 14. Merely a fortnight later, on October 29, a partial lunar eclipse is on the celestial calendar.
Regarding its visibility, the lunar eclipse will be observable in portions of the Eastern Hemisphere, spanning across Africa, Europe, Asia, and certain parts of Australia.

This celestial phenomenon will unfold across both October 28 and October 29, as the moon enters the Earth\’s penumbra on the former date and delves into the umbral shadow in the early hours of the subsequent day.
