Birla Planetarium, Debiprosad Duari, said in a statement on Wednesday, "The eclipse will begin at 10.37 pm on January 10 and will end around 2.42 am on January 11."
"To a naked eye it is sometimes a little difficult to recognise a penumbral lunar eclipse, though it is interesting to see the larger than usual appearance of the moon, and the shifts in shadow during the 4-hour period," the renowned astrophysicist said.
Asked if the event would be clearly visible from Kolkata, Duari said, Skygazers across the state, including Kolkata, will be able to witness the celestial event only if the weather does not play a spoilsport.
