Solar Eclipse and Lunar Eclipse
Lunar Eclipse 2020 will be visible in the skies on July 5, tomorrow morning. This will be the third lunar eclipse of the current cycle which saw the first lunar eclipse on June 5 and the historic Solar Eclipse on June 21.
The Eclipse on July 5 will be partial because only part of the moon will dip into the penumbra. As per oceanofjobs.in, this weekend’s partial penumbral eclipse will appear as if a mouse took a small, dim bite out of the northern edge of the full moon. The bite may be difficult to see with the naked eye, so moon gazers may need telescopes or binoculars to see the full effect, NASA has said. (Chandra Grahan Live Today)

Some also called it the Thunder Moon because of frequent thunderstorms in early summer months. Some even called it the Hay Moon because of the hay harvest. (Chandra Grahan 2019)
