A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth moves in between the Moon and the Sun, blocking the Sun's light from falling on the Moon. Hence, the Moon appears darkened as it has Earth's shadow on it. In a lunar eclipse, the Sun, Moon and the Earth are all aligned.

The Jawaharlal Nehru Planetarium will have a live stream of the eclipse, along with a lecture and a question - answer session on the same, the Deccan Herald reported.
