Lunar Eclipse 2025: Do's and don'ts for pregnant women during Chandra Grahan

The total lunar eclipse is set to occur on the night of September 7-8 this year. Earth will align between the sun and the moon, while the full moon will gradually turn into deep crimson, resulting in a breathtaking Blood Moon that will last for approximately 82 minutes

Blood Moon happens when the Earth blocks the moon's access to direct sunlight during a total lunar eclipse. During this time, the Sun's rays are bent and filtered by the Earth's atmosphere, which scatters blue light and lets red and orange hues reach the Moon, giving it a reddish appearance.
