A Total Lunar Eclipse is very easy to enjoy, you just have to go outside and look at it!

Find a good location beforehand, where you can have a clear unobstructed view of the sky, away from bright lights. If you are hosting a public event, you may want to ensure that there is plenty of space for people to move around safely. The lunar eclipse is best enjoyed with our unaided eyes, and along with our friends and famolies!

If you have a small telescope or a pair of binoculars, the partially eclipsed Moon will look beautiful through it. Make sure that you have a long focal length eyepiece so that the entire disk of the Moon can be seen in the field of view. Though it is very difficult to spot the penumbral eclipse with our naked eyes, it can be spotted through a telescope much easier.

You can see the eclipse with your naked eyes or using a telescope or a pair of binoculars. And you can eat and drink during the eclipse too! In short, there are no harmful effects from seeing the eclipse on 7 September.

Yes! It is absolutely okay to see the eclipse, and share the joy of the event with people you know.

We need to take precautions while seeing a solar eclipse, since any accidental viewing of the uneclipsed part of the Sun, especially through a telescope, can permanently damage the eyes. Even so, hundreds of millions of people see solar eclipses safely using solar filters. There is no such danger for a lunar eclipse - after all, we can all look at the un-eclipsed full Moon without any problem!

You may hear that one should stay indoors and not eat during an eclipse, etc. These beliefs are common around the world and have no basis in science. They come from an age when humans did not understand the sky fully and were understandably frightened by eclipses. We would do well to follow the great astronomer Aryabhata (476-550 C.E.) who gave the correct explanation of eclipses and a method to calculate them.

An eclipse is one of the most grand and awe-inspiring spectacles that nature has to offer us. Why would we not want to see it?
