On January 10, several parts of the world will see another great celestial event - the "Wolf Moon Eclipse", the first of the four penumbral lunar Eclipse of 2020, also called Chandra Grahan in Hindi.

A total lunar eclipse will give an apparent reddish colour to the lunar surface – known as a blood moon. At the same time, the moon will be slighty closer to Earth than normal and appear slightly bigger and brighter than usual – a phenomenon called a supermoon.
