00:00Hey! Care to look at what I am reading?
00:05I am reading about the Lunar Eclipse.
00:08Let's see what it is.
00:10Zoom in!
00:13A Lunar Eclipse happens when the Earth moves between the Sun and the Moon..
00:19..blocking the Sun's light from reaching the Moon.
00:22Come, let's go to space and see how the Lunar Eclipse happens.
00:27Come, let's go to space and see how the Lunar Eclipse occurs.
00:34You see them?
00:35The Sun, the Earth and the Moon.
00:39Look how the Moon is slowly passing from the Penumbra to the Umbra.
00:45Hey! Stop! Stop!
00:49This is the Penumbra, the region beyond the Umbra.
00:54Okay, Moon!
00:56When the Moon travels to the Penumbra, we see a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse..
01:02..where the Moon is faintly visible to us.
01:05When the part of the Moon is in the Penumbra and a part of it is in the Umbra..
01:10..we see a partial Lunar Eclipse.
01:13And when the Moon travels to the Umbra, we see a total Lunar Eclipse.
01:20There are times when the Moon appears to be red.
01:24Oh! Don't be scared. I'll tell you how that happens.
01:29As we all know, the rays of the Sun are made up of..
01:33..red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.
01:42When the Sun rays hit the atmosphere of the Earth..
01:46..most of the colours get scattered away and the colour red remains.
01:52Due to which, we see a red or a blood Moon during a total Lunar Eclipse.
02:02The word Eclipse in Greek means downfall.
02:07A Solar Eclipse always takes place about two weeks before or after a Lunar Eclipse.
02:15So now you know quite a lot about the Lunar Eclipse, don't you?
02:20This is me Zooming out. Tune in next time for more..
