The first series of the triple eclipses will begin with a lunar eclipse india (today) July 6, followed by a solar eclipse on July 22, and another lunar eclipse india on August 6. If history is any indication, this does not augur well for the world.
According to astrologers, triple eclipse series in the past have coincided with tumultuous times on earth. "The first recorded triple eclipse in 3067 BCE coincided with the Kurukshetra war," pointed out astrologer, Aaadietya Pandey.
Interestingly, the solar eclipse falling on July 22 will be the longest solar eclipse of the 21st century. The total lunar eclipse india is expected to last for 6 minutes and 44 seconds, making it the longest eclipse till 2132.
Bad news for city stargazers
Even as the skies would mark the series of rare events from the next month, there are no arrangements in the city for the stargazers to have a first hand experience of this celestial activity. Despite the fans waiting with bated breath for the show, there have been no initiatives by any of the institutes of the city to create awareness about this astronomical phenomenon.
Eclipse facts
Solar eclipse occurs when moon passes between sun and earth.
This can happen only during a new moon, when the sun and moon are in conjunction as witnessed from earth.
