Solar eclipses

Neither solar eclipse is visible from India. Never look at a solar eclipse with bare eyes; certified solar filters or a pinhole projector are the safe options.

Lunar eclipses

All three lunar eclipses are penumbral. The Moon only gets a faint shade; it does not turn red or go completely dark. There is no need for fear.
