A glittering full moon rose over New Zealand on Wednesday night as people there and around the world waited for a cosmic event known as a super blood moon. It's when a full lunar eclipse coincides with a supermoon, which is when the moon is particularly close to Earth and appears brighter than normal. For about 15 minutes, as the moon moves fully into Earth's shadow, the moon will appear to turn red.

As far as Cancer is concerned, they will incline more towards spiritual practices on the day of grahan. They might face minor health issues but chanting Lord Shiva’s name will bring them relief.

Although, the lunar eclipse on May 26 will not be clearly viewable with bare eyes in India, it will certainly have its effect on all the zodiacs. This grahan is going to occur in Vrishchik Rashi this time but all the other signs are likely to get slightly affected by movement of the planets.

The totally eclipsed moon takes a dark blackish red colour and hence it is called a blood moon. This happens because of the comparatively less deviation of the red part of the moon light through the earth's atmosphere and falling on the moon's surface.

People can then see a bright and bigger full moon tonight. At perigee a full moon looks 30 per cent bigger and 14 per cent brighter than an average full moon. That is the reason the full moon will shine brighter and also look bigger tonight. The Moon will be at its perigee on May 26 exactly at around 7:23 pm, at a distance of 3,57,309 km from Earth.

No, the metropolis like Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai will not be able to see today's lunar eclipse as during the eclipse phase moon will be below the horizon at these places. Most of the country will have to be satisfied with a penumbral eclipse, which is not very much discernible with naked eye, when moon passes through a slightly shadowed region of the Earth and is not very spectacular.

On the evening of May 26, the "moon rise in Kolkata will be at 6:15 pm and the interested people will just possibly get a few minutes glimpse of the partial eclipse which will end at around 6:22 pm.

The total lunar eclipse will be visible mostly from Eastern Asia, Pacific Ocean, most parts of North and South America and Australia. For most of India, the moon will be below the eastern horizon during the total eclipse and so people of the country cannot observe a blood moon, but in some parts, mostly from eastern India, people will see only the very last part of a partial lunar eclipse, that is also very close to the eastern horizon when the moon is just rising.
