Lunar Eclipse 2020: Sunday, July 5 is significant as lunar eclipse or Chandra Grahan and Guru Purnima take place on the same day. This lunar eclipse will be a penumbral eclipse and most of us may not be able to see as the moon will be below the horizon. The significance of this lunar eclipse will be even more as it coincides with the full Buck Moon also known as the Thunder Moon.

A penumbral lunar eclipse takes place when the Sun, Earth, and the Moon are imperfectly aligned and the Earth blocks the Sun's light from reaching the Moon. There are three kinds of lunar eclipse - total, partial and penumbral.

The Chandra Grahan on Sunday will take place during the day. Here are the timings as per timedate.com
