Overview

• In the UK, the moon rises already in eclipse on Sunday, with the best view near 7:33 p.m. BST and the event fading by about 9:55 p.m., forecasters say.
• Across India, penumbral contact begins 8:58 p.m. IST, partial at 9:57 p.m., totality from 11:01 p.m. to 12:23 a.m., and the eclipse ends around 2:25 a.m., according to IIA/COSMOS-Mysuru.
• Totality lasts about 82–83 minutes—the longest since 2022—as the moon passes deep into Earth’s umbra, producing a darker red hue.
• Roughly four-fifths of the world can see at least part of the eclipse across Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia, while most of the Americas will miss it.
• Astronomy groups are staging public viewings and talks in cities such as Mysuru and Pune, with livestreams from TimeandDate and the Virtual Telescope Project and UK guidance to seek a clear eastern horizon and check cloud forecasts.
