The Moonʼs trajectory takes it through the northern umbral shadow, resulting in a partial eclipse that lasts 3 hours 8 minutes. At mid-eclipse the Moon's northern limb passes 5.9 arc-minutes outside the umbra's northern edge. The Moon's southern edge is then 16.5 arc-minutes from the shadow's centre.

KATHA OF GRAHAN एक्लिप्सेस
When the gods and the demons churned the milky ocean in days of yore, nectar came out of it। Lord Vishnu assumed the form of Mohini, a charming lady, deluded the demons and distributed the nectar only among the gods। But Rahu had disguised himself as a god। The sun and the moon pointed this out to Mohini who immediately slashed off the demon’s head। Since the nectar had by then already reached up to the neck, he did not die। Thus the head came to be known as Rahu and the body as Ketu. To avenge this betrayal, Rahu and Ketu periodically eclipse the sun and the moon. In Hindu astrology Rahu and Ketu are known as two invisible planets. They are enemies of the Sun and the Moon, who at certain times of the year (during conjunction or opposition) swallow the Sun or the Moon causing either a solar or a lunar eclipse. In Sanskrit this is known as grahanam, which is literally "a seizing." It is thought that the sun and the moon suffer a lot when demons 'Rahu' and 'Ketu' seize them and start swallowing them slowly as a snake swallows a frog. If the eclipse lasted too long they might die ! Thus for the early release of the sun and the moon from an eclipse nothing could be done except praying to the gods and goddesses. Therefore, the holy and noble minded men of the past introduced these rites and rituals for the well-being of the sun and moon, for good of themselves and for the good of all inhabitants of this world.Do’s and Don’ts for Eclipse The eclipse Vrata should be observed if any part of the eclipse is visible from the country that you are residing in.
