A partial lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon but these 3 celestial bodies do not fall in straight line in space.

It said the next eclipse of the Moon will occur on January 31 next year. It will, however, be a total lunar eclipse. It will also be visible from India.
