A partial lunar eclipse will occur on Friday, 19 November, 2021. It will be visible in parts of western Europe, North America, South America, western Africa, Australia, Asia, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Pacific Ocean.

There are two types of Lunar eclipse (also known as Chandra Grahan): Total and partial. According to NASA, a total lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon and Sun are on opposite sides of Earth. A partial lunar eclipse happens when only part of Earth's shadow covers the Moon.

The Ministry of Earth Science (MoES), in a press release, stated that "from India, just after moonrise, ending of partial phase of the eclipse will be visible for a very short span of time from extreme north eastern parts of Arunachal Pradesh and Assam."
