The last partial lunar eclipse of 2024 occurred on September 18, visible across Europe, Africa, the Americas, and parts of Asia, but not from India due to the moon being below the horizon. The eclipse started at 6:11 AM IST and ended at 10:17 AM IST, lasting over four hours with about 8.4% of the moon's surface shadowed. Lunar eclipses, including this one, hold significant cultural and religious importance in Hinduism, though rituals were not observed in India due to its invisibility there. The event coincided with the Harvest Moon and Bhadrapada Purnima, adding to its astrological significance. Skywatchers in regions where it was visible witnessed the Earth's shadow gradually cover parts of the moon, offering a stunning celestial display.
