A lunar eclipse will fall on July 4/5. However, since this will be a penumbral lunar eclipse it will be hard to see as the Moon will only be a bit fainter. This is the third lunar eclipse of 2020 and it will be a penumbral lunar eclipse. In a penumbral lunar eclipse, only the more diffused outer shadow of Earth – the penumbra – falls on the moon’s face. As compared to a total or partial eclipse, a penumbral lunar eclipse is subtle and difficult to observe. It will be visible only from some parts of the world. this lunar eclipse of July 4-5 will not be visible in India as the Moon will be below the horizon. However, people in much of North America, South America, South/West Europe, much of Africa, Indian Ocean, Pacific, Antarctica, and Atlantic will be able to witness it.
Due to non-visibility in India -it has no religious or ritual value. But the eclipse is an astronomical phenomenon and does afflicts the luminaries, so it exerts some definite and lasting impact.
